Is it possible to uninstall rpms from a computer that does not boot and using a live CD? If so, how? (The computer runs Fedora 18.)
install dvd's had the option for "rescue mode" and after "chroot /mnt/sysimage" you were actually in the installed and not booting system and all commands, configs etc affected this - not sure how this works with recent fedora versions since the option is gone and live-cd at all
but drop to a shell, mount your drive of the installed system and "chroot /mountpoint/ shoule maybe be enough, however i would always type "sync" to write back buffers befpre reboot as i practically always does (look in the archives for bugs then and there over the time missing this at shutdown)
Thanks, Reindl. It would be even better if I could undo the last updates from inside the emergency mode. Is it possible?
