[Felix Jodoin]

Well, If you must get back into ydl, even with over 8gb on the root drive, 
boot from the ydl 3.0 cd and type:
linux rescue root=/dev/hdaX
Where X is the number of the root partition you installed ydl on. I am doing 
this every time to boot into ydl (pathetic, but, well, I make good use of the 
disc!) and to prove it I am writing this email from kmail (normally I use 
evolution, though.
