old linux only has support for filesystems of 2Gb in size.

Try installing a modern linux distribution (not slackware 3.5) like slackware 9.0 or redhat 9 etc. on another hard drive or on another partition and then try to recover from your newly installed system. There are on the net some "emergency" distributions which fit on two floppy disks and you can use them to save your linux system. But most important: don't panic :-) > Alessandro Salvatori > Calin ===== -- A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in.
