    Linux

    By accident, I renamed /bin/bash into /bin/notbash and as a result, Linux won't run. Is there a way for me to make linux use the notbash instead of bash when it boots? Some boot parameter maybe?

    This is the silliest thing to do... why would you rename a shell ?


    Do you have a "Linux in a floppy" distro?
    One such thing is here

    Just download and ave it to a floppy. Boot from it.
    mount your existing ext2 system on the hard disk.
    Rename the notbash to bash file.
