Again for the archives, I got out of the installworld mess caused by an unknown error relatively simply. Booting into single mode was a no-goer, but booting up with the 5.4-RELEASE CD and selecting "Upgrade existing system" in the sysinstall menu was. I selected the minimal "User" option (binaries and docs) and mounted /, /var, /tmp and /usr but not /home in the disk editor. The installer did its thing and all was copacetic after rebooting - 5.4-RELEASE installed. Before that, I backed up everything with /rescue/tar and copied it to a safe place, just in case. --=20 Juha
