[Kelly F. Hickel] Well, that's the problem, right? I mean I can't boot even single user mode to do a fsck, so I was going to try to use the install boot to look around, but I can't get it running far enough to allow me to log in remotely. I can't even reinstall cleanly, since I can't get the network adapter to work. -Kelly ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
