Not sure I’ve totally understood your comment, but… in “rescue mode”, if you’ve booted up with the USB disk plugged in, both it and your old root file system should be available under /mnt/ …. if you’ve got into “normal mode” you can bring up a text login with CTRL + ALT + F1 , once you have a shell you can mount your USB stick, so something like

mkdir /mnt/USB
mount /dev/sha1 /mnt/USB

should do the trick,
HTH

Thanks for all your work. The trouble is to get my Sony Vaio PCG-C1F to work in 1024x480 resolution on X. I can get it looking good onto the Fedora Core login view. After entering username and password, it looses normal picture and after holding Fn+F7 on the third time, it shows the "normal" screen picture but in 640x480 px. I am a true newbie on this, so I wonder: what is the exact command (in CLI) for copying from USB-stick (sda1?) to my harddisc (hda1/VolGroup00-LogVol00?). Everything seems to change once I have gone into linux rescue mode. The FC4 system from CD-ROM is loaded into a virtual image in RAM, but where are my already installed files. Not to mention the USB-stick? //Stig Hello!
