OK- I can do both linux single and linux rescue. I can see the file /etc/passwd, but can't edit it vi won't run. I get bash# then I try to run vi and get a sh: vi: command not found
I've been up all nioght at this and need to at the very least get some files off this computer before I go home... Thanks for all your helpl!
