Thank you for your E-mail. I have discovered the root(excuse the pun) of my problem. I was using the rescue disk instead of the boot disk. To cut a long story everything worked fine with the boot disk. I typed: 'linux init=/bin/sh' at the boot prompt and once instead bash I typed: 'mount / -n -o remount,rw' However this does raise the question in my mind about the exact purpose of the rescue disk. I naturally assumed that I should use it when I couldn't get into my system. Something else to investigate I suppose. ThanX again. T:per_adua32
