Hi,
Someone corrupted my libc.so file and linux now refuses to boot, giving a kernel panic. the kernel kills the init process!!!
Now I wish to reinstall glibc. The problem is I have no CD drive attached to the machine. I have a floppy drive though. And the "pseudo-corrupted" kernel is the only kernel on the machine. the machine is attached to a network.
Is there anyway I can boot into the machine in rescue mode using floppies? The boot images in the CD are installation ones. and other boot images of other machines won't work because it again runs init which contacts libc.so file.
Thanks,
