Booting from the CentOS 5.2 Installation DVD (or the first Installation CD), one can type "linux rescue" and then "chroot /mnt/sysimage" and have full root access to the OS on the HD. For future reference, I would like to know what I did wrong, the past couple of days, when trying to use the CentOS 5.2 i386 Live CD, for rescue. From a terminal, "su -" did not seem to get me root access to the hard drive. What command should I have used, with the Live CD? The access I had was read only. (As it turns out, I could have fixed the problem, without the LiveCD, but I didn't know that, 3 days ago.... :-) ) TIA. Lanny
