6.1 Starting YaST System Repair
Because it cannot be assumed that a damaged system can boot by itself and
a running system cannot be easily repaired, the YaST System Repair util-
ity is run from the SUSE LINUX installation CD or DVD. Follow the steps
outlined in Chapter 1 on page 7 to get to the dialog offering the various in-
stallation options then select ‘Repair Installed System’. See Figure 6.1.
Note
Using the Appropriate Installation Medium
Because the test and repair procedure is loaded from CD or DVD,
it is essential to run it from an installation medium that exactly
corresponds to your installed version of SUSE LINUX.
Note
Figure 6.1: Selecting the YaST System Repair Utility
In the next step, choose how the system repair should be performed. Auto-
matic repair, custom repair, and expert tools are available and are described
