Boot first CD in "linux rescue" mode, don't enter your system with chroot, mount your partitions somewhere manually. Note that rescue mode provides a set of working tools. Replace the bad installed packages with working versions. Decide yourself how to do it. E.g. overwrite files manually or use rpm with --root path argument. See "man rpm". Notice option --oldpackage. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/IULI0iMVcrivHFQRAjNSAKCGSENj0dEHiKZOwOglessAeOsuHwCeM+ZD wrMBoG/Tp45d6y9PgkzbG70= =ymI1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
