I got irritated enough at the assorted problems from my dirty, inherited installation to wipe the disk and do a clean install.
Installing hamm with X and a few more packages required about 10 (at least) passess through install/configure in deselect, and even so, i had to manually install perl with dpkg. anyway, I now get a boot message that fsck is not found. and sure enough, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin don't have an fsck or e2fsck. I've had to edit /etc/init.d/chkfs and chkroot to remove the fsck's to get booted. Now how do I fix this? Oh, and lilo didn't install properly, either. it wanted to use /dev/hda3 rather than /dev/hda as the root device, and when booting it came up as LIL- and hung. editing /etc/liloconfig solved it, though. rick ------- End of Forwarded Message -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
