Make sure you are using the Mandrake 8.1 when you are trying to "chroot /mnt" from the rescue prompt. I don't believe the other releases supported that, I could be wrong though. It also appears that it is not supported in the new 8.2, I just started using it and noticed that the rescue boot is different from the 8.2 cd. Anyway, try it with the 8.1, it should work. <A HREF="mailto:peter at cybersource.biz">peter at cybersource.biz</A>
