Ok, I left things last night late and am back at it. I booted up today
and tried reinstalling sysklogd again. This time dselect tells me,
Bareword found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "/var/run"
(Missing operator before run?)
syntax error at -e line 1, near "/var/run"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
installation script returned error exit status 1.
Press RETURN to continue.
I don't know if that will give anyone more info to help me or not.
Thanks,
kent
