I guess we will have to restructure the "Restoring the Boot Loader" section into a more general "Using the Rescue Mode of the Install CD". It is not may favorite tool, but it is one that users will have.

Hello newbies,
I'd appreciate comments regarding the utility of the following:

Is it helpful? Is it understandable? What else would be most helpful to a newcomer? [given the VERY limited space available] What do you think?

Once I heard about it I found it helpful. Although even once I knew about it, I did find actually finding what I need difficult. For example Mikkel mentioned using rescue and console, and i could not find it. Came across it from your link. That may mean I am dense at navigating this site :-)
The other thing I think would be good - if "would be" Mandrake users would find this when googling. I used places like linuxquestions etc, but a dedicated link might be helpful?
I've found this list to be helpful beyond expectation - thank you all Rosemary
It has been a wile sence I have read the "Welcome to Newbie list" message, but isn't there a link to the TWiki site in the message?
