I don't think I've used an FC5 disk in rescue mode but every other FC/RH version that offered it would reboot cleanly when you exit the shell, so this would be unexpected behavior for anyone who had used a prior version. If you have done the 'chroot' to a mounted installed system, you need to exit twice - once for the chroot shell, once for the rescue shell. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
