The magic of the installer's rescue mode is the option it gives you to mount any of your disk partitions as the root filesystem. The installer boots from its own kernel and initramfs, but once that's done, it mounts the partition of your choice on /. From there, you can run the necessary commands and they'll work just like if you'd booted directly from that partition. And yes, you'll also need to fix your /etc/fstab. That's easy, though. `sudo blkid /dev/sdb1` will give you the UUID you need to use. -- Paul Mullen [email protected] www.nellump.net _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
