Rather than a "rescue" floppy I usually used tomsrtbt. You can download it from http://www.toms.net/rb/. The FAQ explains how to use it as a rescue floppy. If your PC supports booting from the CD, you could try booting a knoppix CD. That should give you a working system with internet access. Here is an article that discusses using a knoppix CD for rescue: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-knopx.html What exactly are you trying to fix? > > > > I booted with "linux root=/dev/hda1 2" , but > almost > > immediately there started a message (re-occuring all > > the time) that dependencies file > > /lib/modules/2.2.20/modules.dep cannot be found. > > > > I cannot "startx", get online. > > Anyone knows what could be happening?
