Bad update - X11 corrupted

[Martin Stone]

Hi Dick,

You have a few options, and booting from the rescue disk is the least 
attractive.  What specifically is the problem you're having when booting from 
the hard disk?  A single failed X11 RPM should not completely prevent you from 
booting.

Cheers,
Martin
