Hi guys,
1.
I had FC3 running well for quite some time now!
Recently i was trying to install software like lives,vmware,e2fsprgs
from the july 2005 edition of DIGIT!
Well everything was ok, but when i restarted I was found that e2fsprogs has messed up with the FC3 startup! Now the system just drops me at command mode of FC3!
When Fc3 startup it it says "ERROR In file system check, get newer version fschk"!

2. When i try to mount the cdrom from the command mode it says medium required. So how do u mount the cdrom from command at startup of Fc3 from command mode!

3. If anybody has experience with Fc4 please gimme ur recommendations about its stability as compared with Fc3!

FC4 is better and stabler and cooler than FC3 buddy, plz consider overhaulin ta it...

Also, try usin the rescue disk for FC3 if u wanna recover without FC4.
