Reinstalling FC 4 without deleting /home directory
Hello,
I think I deleted my bootsplash (I think that's what it is, it's supposed to show up when I've finished typing my username and password) when I was root. But now, I can't even get to the screen where I type in my username + password (I have a blue screen, and nothing else). All the startup services start as being OK, and then I don't get a login screen. Is there a way for me to reinstall FC4 without losing my data (which is a important data). I tried using knoppix 3.6 to access my hard drive's storage, but It wont let me access the hard drive. I would appreciate any feedback on this topic. Have a great day! |

Hey, you're the best, man. Your suggestion helped, but It didn't fix the problem. All I did was reinstall fedora core 4, back on my existing /home directory -- without deleting my data. I woulda cried if I had formatted my HD. Have a great day, all!
PS: I let fedora allot my hard drive's space to itself (60GB) --> I let it automatically partition it, since it's the only OS I'm running. I'm quite content with it *now* |
