I'm not sure if rescue mode will recognize a USB disk or not. If it does, it should show up as /dev/sda1. You can mkdir /tmp/usb mount /dev/sdb1 /tmp/usb then copy things there. If the USB drive has a FAT filesystem you'll lose some of the file attributes (ownership, modes, etc.) and may have problems with some filenames if you copy the files directly, so it might be better to use a tar archive. For that, cd to the directory you want to save and: tar -czvf /tmp/usb/my-tar.tgz . (that last '.' specifies the current directory). For rsync over ssh to another system you would let rescue mode active your network, chroot to /mnt/sysinstall as it suggests, then cd to the directory you want to save and: rsync -essh -av . othermachine:/path/to/directory It should prompt for the root password on the other machine, then copy the files. > > > my data are on local directory. > > How could I login in as a root to see my local dir. > > -result With "ls" command in shell prompt: > > bin etc linuxra mnt > > oldtmp > > sbin sys usr > > dev lib > > lost+fund modules proc > > selinux temp var > > If rescue mode was able to find your partitions and > mount them normally and you followed the instructions > with the 'chroot' command, everything should appear > in it's usual locations from your shell prompt.

You should be logged in as root already in rescue mode. You need to 'chroot /mnt/sysinstall' when it tells you. That puts you at the root (/) of your installed system. From there just cd to the directory you want. Use pwd (print working directory) to confirm where you are and ls to list the files there. You can cd with an absolute path (starting with /) or if you omit the leading / the directory you specify is relative to your current position. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
