Recovery problems

[Jabird 0]

alright, i am in the system recovery place and i went through all the crap. well now i am at the screen where about 3/4 of it is blue the rest black, it says:

 

Your system is mounted under the /mnt/sysimage directory

 

When finished please exit from the shell and your system will reboot.

 

i typed:

 

/mnt/sysimage, it replys,

 

sh: /mnt/sysimage: is a directory

[sarcasm]well thanks a whole lot becouse i didnt know that![/sarcasm]

It's been a while since I had to do a recovery with the disk, but as well as I remember, you have to mount the image thusly:

 

mount /mnt/sysimage [enter]

 

then:

 

cd /mnt/sysimage [enter]

 

then:

 

ls [enter]

 

And you should see the files on your computer from the / directory.

 

Can you give us a few more details? Did you ever have it running with X? Did you do something wrong or edit a file somewhere that's causing the problem?

well it turns out i didnt need to recover, i took the computer somewhere else trying to get updates since i have 56k and my resolution was 1600x1200 so it would load everything then goto a black screen... well when i got it home on my moniter and all it works perfectly so i go on a mission then remember my resolution... thanks alot though

and by X is that the GUI? because if so yes...

 

 

thanks alot

Xwindows is what makes GUI and DE possible.
