Hi. I'm running SuSE 8.0, but due to a fault I have uninstalled the package devs, and as such I cannot access my linux system. Is there anything that I can do to get the system up running again. Med venlig hilsen / Best regards Erik Jakobsen - erik@urbakken.dk Urbakken 8 Oland 9460 Brovst.

You should be able to boot from the CD/DVD and re-install the package. Not sure if the rescue system will run Yast. If not, then find the package on CD and install it manually.

I can fine boot from the CD/DVD drive. The rescue will not run Yast, and I cannot see the DVD/CDROM from here as I think the lack of the devs package is the reason ??. What to do now ?.

The rescue system has its own _ro_ filesystem, including its own /dev. You should be able to mount anything, but manually (the fstab is almost empty); sort of: mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt You will also have to mount your normal root filesystem somewhere else; and remember to issue the parameter --root to the rpm command: --root <dir> Use the system rooted at <dir> for all operations. Note that this means the database will be read or modified under <dir> and any pre or post scripts are run after a chroot() to <dir>. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
