Not for 1.1.5, but of course, for 2.0.x. I've been recovering a dead 2.0.5 system on my machine at work more than a single time.

Running the fixit floppy does work however. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
