Good advice.
The Linuxcare bootable business card
http://open-projects.linuxcare.com/BBC/
is also very useful for rescuing systems.
It is a business card sized CD which you can boot your
system off. You can then use the tools on the system to
work on your system.
You'll need to borrow one, or get someone to burn one
for you.
