DELL 5150 Crash

[Benjamin Sobotta]

Hi!

If you just want to access your files /usr should not be necessary. Of course 
basically all tools are on /usr but for plain access it's not necessary. I 
just checked my system and rcp for example is in /bin. You could use that to 
copy your files off the system.
Yes, you could also use a live CD. Check out www.freesbie.org.

Cheers,

Ben
