Ouch! No Internet! You could try doing a file system check using fsck on the root partition to make sure the filesystem hasn't been corrupted. Have you considered an upgrade to RH9? I upgraded to 9 over top of my, heavily modified (read I messed with it), RH8.0 with no problems. I haven't looked back. -- Rob Stockley Manawatu New Zealand An avid user of Linux Visit http://www.linux.org
