I use the first (Install) CD from Mandrake 8.1. Type F1 to get a LILO prompt, then "rescue". This boots a ramdisk-based system which conveniently locates your root partition, mounts it as /mnt, and mounts whichever partitions it can locate in your fstab under that (/usr becomes /mnt/usr, etc.). If you're doing this, as so often happens, because of a trashed MBR, you can chroot /mnt and re-run LILO, and you're all set. -- Bill Mullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mar 6, 2002 ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
