I am unable to boot the Linux operating system on my primary home PC. I am pointing my finger at the utility I use to update my Linux installation, a Python script.

When I booted from a rescue disk last night, I discovered that the /dev filesystem had been zapped. My best guess is that the updater script fell down when installing devfs.

My remedy is to re-install Fedora Core 3 tonight. I plan to download and burn CDs of the latest test release.
