This should come to be quite handy if I can get the system to boot, if ever. The chflags command isnt on the fixit floppy it seems. SInce the kernel is in /boot, then it seems this wouldnt be the problem. I tried reinstalling and setting the paritition to be active, but non of this has had an effect. ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
