Where could I type rescue ? For sure, FC1 CD-ROM ask several options I could select at the opening such as rescue, special kernel option. However As for FC3, opening messages were as follows continuously. 1. Choose a Language ? English 2. What type of keyboard do you have ? us 3. What type of media contains the packages to be installed ? hard drive 4. What partition&dir on that partition hold the CD images for fedora core ? Where could I type 'linux rescue' ? In addition, I choosed the partition where I put 'FC3-i386-rescuecd.iso' at the menu above 4. Then FC3 install begun. So that's why I think it is not enough or valid to grub booting by initrd-resc and vmlinuz-resc file with different name but mixed with install image, to give me a rescue menu in the rescue cd image. It was apparently installer menu. From: Micheal Clark <sundance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > When booting this way, are you typing linux rescue at the prompt? // M.Iizuka
