The problem you're running into is not with the packages that are installed, but with the lack of your boot loader. Without a boot loader, you're not going to get to a point where you can do anything. In addition, you may be missing other critical packages. You're going to have a hard time doing this without a new install. If CD 1 is okay, you probably could go ahead and install a very minimal installation and then download the remaining packages using yum. HTH On 25 Apr 2005 10:31:05 -0400, Stanley A.
