hey all, thanks for all the tips. problem is system won't let me run fsck -p, but i was able to mount the partition where my /usr is, so i was able to edit /ect/fstab and make the system look in the right places. thanks a lot to all of you. i really appreciate it. --- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> wrote: > In <20030312161236.GB5097@gothmog.gr>, Giorgos > Keramidas <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> typed: > > Nah.
