Hey... well we decided to take this opportunity to just scrap the whole old computer and rebuild a NEW AMANDA backup server. :) The root partition on this drive just plain wouldn't mount. :( But, thanks to your help Lance I learned a LOT about the way these boot loaders work.. and now I have one of the recovery cd's.
Thanks a lot Lance, and also Ralph who mentioned Knoppix. A strange thought which occurred to me during this crazy time is: Wouldn't it be fun to create a Boot CD whose sole purpose was to play tricks on some poor soul that deserved it? Such as, your boss, or mother-in-law. Yes, have it boot up from CD and show a fake Windoze login / desktop, which played silly noises when they tried to click on stuff. Or, a video of something. Or, variations of nicer / meaner jokes could be incorporated. Oh well, I have an overactive imagination. Thanks again TRILUGGers for your support. wab -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lance A.
