Will this be the same type of shell as if I did an alt-f2? Do I need to mount anything? How much stuff do I need to mount? Just the root partition? Root and a swap? Root and /usr? What exactly will be different when I furn fsck like this versus the bottup process trying to run it? I don't very much understand why it doesn't work (other than the obvious hands on nature of linux). thanks, Chris -- '\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\ Live on Real Audio Thursday nights 8-11 EST http://www.uvm.edu/~wruv T-SNAKE [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ UIN:1868354 A DJ on a mission CROSSFADE RECORDS http://www.crossfade.com/ Drug free techno ,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/'\,/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
