There should be a way to make a stripped down kernel (like take out a lot of extra module support) for just this purpose. Failing that, I much preferred some of the older CDs because you could use them as a boot disk as well as a rescue disk. For instance, you could simply type "linux single root=/dev/hdaX" (or something like that) at the linux prompt, when booting from CD. That functionality seems to be missing from Mandrake. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
