Boy! You really did it. Of course you can't boot up your
ruined
system. Here is what I would do if faced with it. With RESCUE I would
make a new partition with fdisk and then mkfs.ext3 and then mount both
this and your old system. You will need to make 2 places to mount them to.
Now use #cp -a /home /where the partition is mounted. I did this on
mine and so far 3 months it is perfect. Of course if you already did
this your ahead of the game.
Now I would use the F7 DVD and upgrade the broken with a new one but
be careful not to delete the old system. With lock it will all come out
good.

Karl,
Thank you so much for this tutorial.
I have no risk of sounding ignorant, as I have already posted my mistake,
therefore I will ask for a little clarification.
I will boot with the rescue and select Rescue existing installation.
Then I will create a new partition on my existing hard drive using fdisk.
I will format it as an ext3 filesystem.
The rescue disk mounts my munged system under mnt/sysimage.
I will create another mount point and mount my new partition to it.
If I have understood this so far then I am only confused here.
I should copy the /home directory of the rescue system to my new partition
or to my munged system?
Thank you, again for your kindness.
Pete
