Thanks for the detailed advice! But I have more problems, using this advice. I do have one knoppix lite and one mini knoppix's iso on tbhbis hard disk *but* I can't burn them anyway on to a CD. I have a CD Drive which ha gone bad and was to take it to a repair shop this weekend, so booting thru knoppix wouldn't be an option for me I guess. Other option I have is - I have another hard disk which I'm not currently using which has Mandrake 8.2 on it. Can I use it to boot, then chroot in to this debian root and then ... well, I guess I can't use apt-get then, isn't it? It's got a working vmware on it tho, if I could use that for booting the knoppix iso on this hard disk, then chrooting thru that knoppix in to this debian root and doing things as you said above? Seems complex but I guess I could give it a try? I'm not ready to reinstall. Thanks for the help ... I survived a quick brownout a few minutes ago.
