I've been helping a friend of mine who lives out of state switch over to Linux. I sent him RH9, and he's got it installed. He's currently dual booting his system, but has had problems with Windows destroying the MBR and taking out GRUB. Thus, only letting him get into Windows now. He's really enjoying RH right now, and wants to get rid of Windows in the worst way but he still needs to do some data migration. I did some googling, and found a way to make a restore disk once he's got the Linux system back. But didn't come up with a good scenario on how to get the system to allow him to restore GRUB. He's got a very slow internet connection (28.8 dial-up IIRC), and all he has are the set of RH9 discs that I burned and sent him from the TCLUG mirror. What would be his best option to restore GRUB to allow him to get back into Linux boot? Can he use one of the RH discs as a rescue disc, or is he stuck doing a reload or something else? He's got his RH side pretty much configured and doesn't want to have to reconfigure anything if he can help it. I could burn and ship him a rescue disc, but it'd be a few days before it got to him. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Shawn "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear." -Mark Twain Ne Obliviscaris -- "Forget Not" _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
