yeah, Debian will also do, and Red Hat may still have a rescue mode if
they didn't get rid of it. but if a CD is not handy (which is usually
the case) I'd look for debian boot floppies, or VAresearch rescue
floppies which are also excellent.

powerful life changing experiance. you should count your blessings!

my Ex tried to talk me into switching to Debian for months, but I
finally did it only after I deliriously removed /etc on my Mandrake
at 3am one day.

EVERYBODY should do this once. it's a very cleansing experiance. Even
Linus deleted his source tree once by mistake and rewrote big parts of
the kernel. his solution was simple and briliant - upload it to an FTP
mirror where everybody will mirror it without even noticing. sneaky
bastard.
