You basically need to do two things : 1. Boot from a reliable media - could be pxe, knoppix, zipslack anything as long as it is not from the corrupt hard disk. 2. Ensure sufficient disk space is available to the OS once you have booted from something. This could be a CDR, DVDR, local hard disk, USB drive, NFS mount, FTP server, another linux box with SSH on it. The choice is yours to make depending on what you have easily available at your end.

Re: [ilugd] [OT] MTNL DSL connectivity
I was a VSNL dialup user.. .. and lately transferred to MTNL broadband. The connection is good. and mostly stable. Only issue seems that sometimes the router refuses to connect. Reason given by MTNL staff is that the telephone exchange is beyond 5kms from my home.. and as a result the signal becomes weak. ? not sure of this though. :( On 11/18/05, Anand Kapoor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, VSNL is using the Tata Indicom brand to offer broadband services, I have used the 512Meg ADSL line from them, the lines were amazingly good. http://www.tataindicombroadband.com/ Anand On 11/18/05, Ankur Rohatgi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On 11/18/2005 12:09 PM, (Sanjay Goel) wrote: I am using MTNL and VSNL both, But I found VSNL is much better option.
