Hi Listers, Pl excuse me I am resending the mail since I am doubtful about the receipt of my earlier mail since the email address header was wrong -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am running a dual boot box (Win98 /PCQ Linux) Celeron 900 MHZ,128 MB RAM 40 Gig HDD. I was running Linux for the past 2 1/2 years without any problem(thru RH 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, RH/PCQ Linux 7.1). I have configured 2 users with KDE as the default desktop and GNOME as the desktop for root.
Today I wanted to install "Joe" from RH 6.2 CD for doing some light weight editing. I logged in as root (Graphical login). Instead of GNOME it went into Failsafe mode, with only a terminal. I gave mount command. It said"command not found". The same story was there for even simple commands like ls, mv , cp and all. I could not even reboot the machine by giving reboot command in terminal. Did ctrl + alt + del. Then I tried to login as root choosing KDE desktop. Monitor simply blinked and came back to login screen. Went to pure CLI using ctrl + alt + f2 and logged in as root. And that was all I could do, that is login . Any command issued repeated the same old story " command not found". Then I logged in as normal user,"srikanth". I could do all including connecting to net, browsing, email etc. What has happened ? Can anybody throw light on this problem?
