I had to reinstall windows on my dual-boot system, and as expected windows overwrote the lilo boot loader. Easy to fix, I just put in my linux boot disk and boot it up - except teh disk has devoloped a whole bunch of bad sectors. Not a problem! I think. I'll just use a TOMRTBT boot disk to do the job. Except after booting I realize this wont work, because my root partition is using reiserfs, not ext2. I figure even this shouldn't be a problem, since I can just boot off the installation CD and select 'rescue' and use that instead. Except the Mandrake 7.1 CD rescue disk doesn't have support for reiserfs. So what can I do? I need either a boot disk which will let me mount reiserfs partitions, or a way of installing a boot loader without mounting the partition that it will be running. If it's any help, /boot is a 12 MB ext2 partition. The system itself is Mandrake 7.1 with a few patches and updates. - Doug -- _____________________________________________________________ Network Operations Engineer - Big Pond Advance Satellite Ericsson Australia - Level 5, 184 The Broadway, Sydney 2000 Ph: +61-416-085-390 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
