1. Start in single user mode 2. Make sure the Mandrake partition is mounted, say, at /mnt 3. cp -a /usr /mnt/mepis-usr 4. rm -rf /usr 5. ln -s /mnt/mepis-usr /usr 6. Ensure that the Mandrake partition is automatically mounted (/etc/fstab) - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2005: Canberra, Australia http://lca2005.linux.org.au/ "I believe in true love.
