Btw., you still got the chance to install say /usr/lib/libc.so.2.2 into the /usr/lib subdir of your root partition. This way, you could run the programs that require this file while in single user or in system recovery state, but it's over-shadowed later by mounting /usr on top of this directory. (I once did this with a /usr/local/bin/tcsh that was normally NFS-mounted.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
