I asked for too many sources and documentation and ended up with a broken pipe and full /usr partition. Then I guess I maed a few mistakes: - I rebooted but found that /kernel was not there ... only the kernel.prev and kernel.GENERIC. - I booted with kernel.prev, got the # prompt but no network and stuff so I copied back the /etc and rebooted again - still no network .. I assume because the kernel is old and all the binaries are new - I cannot boot with kernel.GENERIC ... it freezes when probing hardware (never tried to use it without the old /etc in place). QUESTION: How get the machine up and running the network, at least so that /home can be copied to a safe place.
