redhat wont boot.... !!!!
 

after all my learnings i finally was going somewhere and now my redhat wont boot up.. it says.
i ran linux rescue and nothin happened. what do i type to restore my kde?

Are you getting this after you try to log in from the graphical login screen? Then try another session type in the login manager. The session script you are trying to use probably does something wrong - wrong command to launch the window manager, or something. You can view the scripts in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/ if you are using gdm.

nope.. nothin, not even failsafe logs in.

i think my disk is full.. how can i delete some music files i have through the black screen?

music is at home/joe/music

:study:

# cd /home/joe/music
# rm <filename>

Isn't the "blackscreen" of life better than the bluescreen of death?

:cool:

If it is true that you filled up your disk then you still should be able to log in as root.

If you boot to rescue mode from the 1st CD your root partition will be mounted to /mnt/sysimage. You can use the df command to see how much freed space you have:
df -h

You can then use the rm command to delete files.

yeah i used to be able to go try to login now my screen blinks at the local user name and password... wont let me type.. just blinks black.... bah..

i tried using ..
rm /home/joe/desktop/music and
rm /home/desktop/music and it was sayin no such dir do i need the # and < > 's there?

how can i get to command promt also... so i can type rm ..

Isn't it /home/joe/music not /home/joe/desktop/music?

rm -f /home/joe/music/*

The -f option will not ask for comfirmation before deleting the file.

To boot without kde starting. Restart the computer. when the grub menu pops up press the c key, now type in init 3. Press the enter key.

Not log in as root.

i use floppy disk to boot... i dont see grub. how do i delete that directory? rm -d ?

damn this is gay.. ill just partition my 40 gig and dual boot... this 4 gigger isnt working.. ill start over. :(

rm -rf <directory name>

and yes, you've gotta be root - luser joe can't do that

sounds like you've just about hosed her fella :D

im going to dual boot now...... but for further reference... how do i get root access after i run the linux rescue ? all i see is #asdfas-2ba # i think

You automatically root.
