Thanks to the help of folks on this forum, I now have my Centos 4 box up and working, however I do have a question on how the repair actually worked. After starting the Linux Repair, the process "found my installed Linux". Some of you will remember that I had accidentally erased the /boot and /boot/grub directories, but I had most of the files saved (not the symbolic links) and put them back into the directories *and* I did run a rpm reinstall. When Linux Repair "found the installed Linux", did it create a new /boot and /boot/grub *or* did it just use what I had put there? [I am now downloading Centos 5.5 which I'll install on a new drive and then face the challenges of moving my backup data to the new OS] Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.aristesoftware.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
