Well, I managed the dumbest: I uninstalled bash (don't ask, please don't ask why...). Though apt complained it didn't want to...I did. Ouch!
Well, the system really has problems without bash, and I can't get it back on. dselect quits. apt quits. Actually, I got half way through the uninstall, and apt quit there. So apt and dselect have been dead since then. So I have a half uninstalled dysfunctional bash.... I'm up and running and I changed my user account and root account to the C shell; so I assume if I reboot, I'll at least have some working shell. I changed these shell variables in /etc/passwd...Is that correct? So, any ideas about how to get bash back on the system with apt and dselect down for the count? Your help would be greatly appreciated. -- Eric Cheney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
