OT: Incidentally, that's a bit of a shame; if the LiveCD 'could' see the filesystems, the Live CD could be used for 'quick adjustments' if it was easily to hand, and especially if the person is using XFCE/Fxx on a daily basis. But that's a discussion for another day. > > Instead, use your installation CD's rescue mode. I'd already found this page: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Installation_Guide/ap-rescuemode.html which looked pretty helpful. But my LiveCD - which I'd used for my install - didn't have the Fedora 'rescue' option on initial boot. OT again: Would it be possible to have the Fedora rescue option on the Live-CD? Would there be enough space? I remember a discussion not long ago when people were discussing what could go onto the CD because some space had become available. At the time, I hadn't realised that 'rescue' wasn't there, nor how useful it could be. > Here are > my notes on how to do this. It is a bit dated, but everything > is there.

I didn't have a Fedora install disc. Eventually, just typing 'lilo' into another very basic rescue shell seemed to bring LILO back into life; I guess it fixed its records about which drives were which.
