Did you make a boot disk so you can get back into Red Hat booting from the floopy? I am not certain with RH 8, but Mandrake has a way to reintall the bootloader if you boot up into Mandrake and use drakconf. I would assume RH 8 would have something similar once you have booted. -- Jacob Albretsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.knine.net/ "If you can't make it good, at least make it look good." --Bill Gates, 1994 _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
