My question is. How can i boot in text only mode? I did it the other day by accident, and was able to CD around on the hard drives .... I desperately need to get the data off this machine as it was a server...
If you have a copy of knoppix on a cd you can boot to that and do a burn of your data using k3b. It takes a bit of doing but it does bail you out for files you didn't backup <G> IIRC Suse's 9.2 eval disk wouldn't let me see anything on the HD so knoppix 3.4 -3.6 versions will let you rescue your files as you can actually get to files on the HD and it has k3b as I mentioned. -- j -- nemo me impune lacessit
