He doesn't seem to be too fearful to me - even overconfident - if he
does his daily work while logged in as root. If he truly were the guru
he purports to be, then he'd know better than to do that.

Considering that in Windows every user gets administrator privileges by
default, this is probably why he wants to do his daily work as root.
He probably was a Windows user before he transitioned to GNU/Linux, and
then this would make perfect sense in the subject of why he hates GUIs.

You ought to configure links so it invokes zgv when you want to view

Or maybe it's a backward browser. You can certainly do that with
lynx.

After all, you do have your ODE complete with an alias so all you have
to type is "ff" to invoke Firefox (which you are now suddenly dismissing),
it's been a long time since you mentioned a text only browser. I guess
when we feed you material, it has an affect.

If you didn't run as root, and if you were running a release that was
more recent than six years old, you might not feel the need to be
so paranoid. You might even find that Firefox wasn't a problem.

All this talk about running as root, that suddenly reappears after I
mention it, reminds me that your "first" appearance may have been about
wanting to run something as root that didn't want to run as root. You
wanted help fixing that program, rather than taking the advice to run
as a user. This whole firefox scenario seems more of the same, run
the way you want to run, and then have to create all kinds of workarounds
because you want to run as root.

Rescue mode is a live CD. RH/RHEL/Fedora have provided it since before
people called live CDs "live CDs," so it's called rescue mode. It's
provided by the original installation media and only provides a command
line, which is all you need, anyway.

The only difference between between the above suggestion and mine is
using rsync on mounted filesystems instead of dd on unmounted ones.

If you create a new fs from scratch, you don't need to worry about
UUIDs. I don't know if rescue mode provides rsync, though. If it
doesn't, then you'd need some other live media (Knoppix, e.g.) to use
rsync. I'd worry about SELinux contexts with rsync, if you're using
SELinux. You could also use rsync from the old fs by chrooting to the
old fs from rescue mode, but that's even more hassle.

Personally, I'd go with rescue mode and dd. It seems simpler to me.
Whichever copy program you like, it can be made to work. Just remember
to fix up the other stuff, too.
