If other troubleshooting options for Corel LINUX have failed, you can use the Emergency shell. The Emergency shell provides diagnostic tools for configuring Corel LINUX. Only experienced users should use the Emergency shell.
To access the Emergency shell
1. Insert the Corel LINUX Installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Shut down and restart your computer.
3. As the Corel Install Express dialog box appears, hold down SHIFT until the menu appears.
If your computer restarts without displaying the Corel Install Express dialog box, your computer does not have a bootable CD-ROM. This means that you have to use a 3.5" high-density floppy disk (1.44 MB) as the bootable disk in the install process. Some editions of Corel LINUX include the Corel LINUX Installation (bootable) floppy disk. If you have this floppy disk, insert it and reboot your computer. If you don't have this floppy disk, you need to create a bootable disk. After you have created the disk, leave it in your disk drive and reboot your computer. After you complete these steps, continue with the procedure. For more information about creating a bootable disk for Linux, see "Creating a bootable disk for Corel LINUX."
