Ok - I just had a thought - if I make a floppy boot disk, then comment out /boot in /etc/fstab and reboot the server with the floppy in the drive will the server start up? if so I should be able to do the upgrade, then remount the /dev/hda2 /boot partition and copy the updated boot files across, then re-enable /boot in /etc/fstab then do my lilo stuff, reboot the server again and we should have a happily upgraded server? or am I completely insane? :) -- Nitro - 3D Visualisation, Graphics & Animation Ph (+61 2) 9810 5177 - Fx (+61 2) 9810 0199 http://www.nitro.com.au/ _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
