The idea is to have a running "first-aid" Linux server with network access and all goodies that you need to do things. When a penguin gets sick, you logoff that sick machine (it was not working anyway) and may the first-aid server link to the disks of the dead penguin R/W. Now you can use all your tools to repair the files. When you're done, you unmount the disks and start the cured penguin. -Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
