Kurt, I left all of your last message so you might remember. I think what started this whole thing, I was screwing around with LFS and I think I buggered my /etc/bash file, so my /etc/inittab won't go even if I copied it in. I think I need to copy bash back into the partition. About foo, is that hdb1? Or do I need to make Hdb1 a directory to copy to it? That's where my whole program resides. I think when I re-do everything it'll be the last timm! Thanks all you fellas for your time.
