Red Hat This may not be of much use to those of you who dread text based installs, and those in the know, but a bit of useful information I came across when I installed Red Hat Linux 9 recently.

I agree, it IS a nifty thing. About two days ago, one of my Linux boxen refused to boot up after updating the kernel because I had upgraded modutils to use the module tools for the 2.6 dev kernel. I tried booting off of the bootdisk.iso image on CD and did a "linux rescue" only to find I needed the CDs. After searching the Net for a bit, I found out that pointing the installation program to a directory containing the ISO images would be sufficient as a rescue image. So I NFS exported my ISO images subdirectory, and, et voila! I'm dropped into a rescue shell.

Good job, RedHat techs!
