[QUOTE="dustboy, post: 261572"] My poor lappy will only boot into a shell prompt. After using disk tools to upgrade to a bigger HD, there were 3-4 aliases in my main directory that I didn't recognize, I think a couple were "var" and "temp". Of course I threw them in the trash (didn't empty trash). How do I get these back out of the trash if I can't get into OS X? The screen is black and says: /etc/master.passwd: No such file or directory -sh-2.05b# I tried all the suggestions in the "basic OS X troubleshooting" post. Help! It's dark in here and I can't see my mouse pointer!! There are Emacs and Vipers lurking in the shadows!! This is a: G3 500Mhz Powerbook latest OS 10.4 update [/QUOTE]
