Questions first. - - Is the broken system the same architecture as the running one? - - Is the broken system a Debian installation? - - Do you have fakeroot & other chroot utilities installed? If is OK by now, you can mount the broken root partition on, let's say, /mnt, then # chroot /mnt Mainly, this is the idea for accessing a broken system, after chroot log you in the mounted installation, you can issue command as you would on a working system. Of course, you are more than welcome to google the problem a bit, since my email is far from accurate or complete. I'm just taking you somewhere, but you'll have to read the map :) Hope this helps, Victor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Debian GNU/Linux - Romania iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJO3Bx6AAoJEMn1b0XNY6wK6AgH/R2gUpCbP4oLDdOpavF1gaKk rSnLpjK3oVCny4gpn+nNbsRmXZlPkRK7Jk7ICxdYspUhsj2JiY9uWQ04/m5xQ9/z 6ZGMHcNLGjQz1GNCt1bCbjkrqe7o5a2wb5mnMq/zqbAbI2ap+yNjTNKUrgBkc6yk 3nj+mBra7YOHEbYUlrz2qo5GQjVuLnj6tSXYZ0qHLxaNlFG1vcSorcdxunEbXigp anBtpPnRVZVchAUqf9/XivKz4C5hsJH2JUjs/8bmzUVIOykAmJ2D7IeYiMoa12Uq IPete/mkaAoRpFCVU5Kp55EDemMVw4IA0UkpdkS67U+SMBD502IWNLtAs0fItmU= =EL1e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
