rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep glib` A lot of things don't like it when you remove the glibc libraries! (I intended to only get rid of the GTK glib libraries) Anyways, just boot off the install disk and perform an upgrade. Choose the 3 glibc RPM's and viola! Instant fix. So if you ever boot a system and when it gets to mounting the root fs readonly and just sits there not doing anything, you know what to do. -Aaron
