Will I do the actual file moving while in rescue mode, or after making and
mounting of the junk dir and booting in RH9?

Also, if I do the move while in rescue mode, will I be able access the
"junk" directory while in RH9? My problem is really only that the size of
the files makes it impossible (too time consuming) to copy them to floppy.


Thanks!
