Actually, you can go through the complete dialog for the install system, creating the network and using the IP address of the failing system. This allows you to start up a (much more comfortable) ssh session. You can even run "yast &" and begin the GUI install, up through activating the disk devices. At that point, switch back to your ssh session and perform the recovery tasks necessary, as described in Dominic's post.
I'm sure I've seen documented wrt RHEL VNC and SSH installs. Presumably one can start additional xterms/connexions to diddle round in. You can do as much of the install as you wish, up to the final "go and do it." On IA32 installs, well before this there is a console terminal available, these days running bash which is _way_ more comfortable than te shells used earlier; in vaious installs I've seen ash, dash, sash (I think) and busybox, and all suck. -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ do not reply off-list ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
