Does anyone have documentation on exactly how to do this?

If all you want to do is recover files, why not download an old live CD and use it?

How about just mounting the filesystems ? Unless you are on 15.3, it just works. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland.
