You can use rpm --root to manipulate RPM's on the mounted filesystem. Though, you will need to be able to access the RPM files to reinstall. In the case of glibc (which I've had some trouble with on RedHat 9 upgrades too), you'll want to make sure that all versions of glibc and glibc-common are uninstalled, then install the current versions. Once installed you might also want to chroot /mnt/sysimage and do an rpm --rebuilddb and an ldconfig. -- "Thank God we don't get all the government we pay for." -- Will Rogers -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
