boot a debian rescue floppy, type root=/dev/whatever for your root device. then just mount /usr mount /var mount /boot etc. backup the /boot files to /tmp, umount /boot mke2fs /dev/whatever for /boot, mount it again (fix fstab as needed) copy the boot files back from /tmp. run lilo reboot. actually to do that i don't think you need anything in /usr anyway. tar is in /bin for as little as is in /boot you don't need anything fancy. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
