hi all:

can anyone affirm that 'rpm --root /mnt/sysimage' will do what i think the man 
page is saying it will do: install the rpms in the system directories 
starting at /mnt/sysimage  and not in the current /. 

a rh9 installation went south, way south, after appling all the current rh9 
updates. now is get a segmentation fault when i do a chroot /mnt/sysimage, 
and get same when i try to boot the system. as by one on information, the 
same was happening during ( and not before) the rpm -Fuh of the the updates.

any input is greatly appreciated. i really don't want to hose the system 
worse! :)
