-Are you certain "rescue mode" is the best tool for your specific
-problem?
-
-The rescue system on this CD is a very basic text-based
-environment for rescuing systems that no longer boot. You will
-not find an easy-to-use graphical environment in this rescue
-system, nor the Mandrake detection/configuration libraries.
-
-
-The vast majority of problems that can affect a Linux system are
-much easier to repair on a running system than by booting into
-"rescue mode". In fact, there are very few problems which aren't
-easier to resolve in the comfortable environment of a fully
-installed Mandrake Linux system than in this spartan "rescue
-system" shell. Some of the most common problems include:
-
-- bad or missing X (video display) configuration
-- adding/removing/reconfiguring hardware
-- repairing problems caused by installing third-party software
- with the "--force" and "--nodeps" options
-
-The general rule of thumb is: "If you can boot into the Linux
-system without using rescue mode or this CD, there is no real
-reason to use the rescue CD".
-
-
-However, if you can no longer boot into the system, the rescue
-system is the right tool. Some common examples include:
-
-- If you previously changed some parameters in the /etc/fstab and
- the system will no longer boot, fix the offending line while in
- rescue mode, then try to boot normally into your system.
-
-- If the problem cannot be completely resolved in rescue mode
- (for example, if you need to reconfigure the video display),
- just modify what's necessary to boot into a running system,
- then complete the fix from there.
-
-In case you have found a new problem which should be handled by
-"rescue mode" but currently isn't, please report it to
-<gc@mandrakesoft.com>.
-
-For more information on troubleshooting a Mandrake Linux system,
-please consult the official manuals, the documentation on
-MandrakeLinux.com, MandrakeUser.org, troubleshooting articles on
-MandrakeForum.com, or the MandrakeExpert.com support forum.
