oops nevermind my last question
i can't install gtk+
i had 1.0.9 gtk and i wanted to upgrade (for gaim) that required a new version of glib, i installed 1.2.3 but gtk+ during ./configure still says i have an old version, anyone know how i can make it recognize? thanks
no bash commands work
i use xdm to logon in x and everything works in x, but when i switch to a different terminal for any command it says bash command not found, and i can't restart without going into xdm since i can't run the command... help!

Re: how do i apt-get glibc?
i meant glib sorry, and the file name on the site ends with .deb doesn't that mean it's a legitimate package? Pollywog wrote: > Did you really need glibc or did you mean glib ? > > Don't get glibc if you really meant glib. That mistake might break your > system. > > -- > Andrew
damn glib
i installed glib1.2.3 but gtk+ says cannot find glib1.2.3 anyway what do i do?
potato broke my everything!!
i reinstalled linux using the base floppies and decided instead of apt-getting slink i'd go straight for potato. i updated the packages in dselect and then selected what packages to install after d/ling for 2 days (250Mb) it finally finished but there were some errors in the end of install, i did update packages again and then i had to d/l 15mb more after that i did config and there was an error something like cannot execute script apt -configure. i shutdown (shutdown -h now didn't work but i payed no attention) when i restarted there was an error saying cannot execute /etc/init.d/rcS and thenext line is cannot execute /etc/init.d/rc, then at the login where it usually said wonko login: it said (none) login: and when i tried my pass it said error changing to /dev/tty1 and i couldn't login. does anyone know what to do? i really don't to d/l the packages for another 2 days on my 33.6. thanks

what's the autoexec.bat equivalent here?
i kind of messed up my xf86 and during boot it says starting xfs x font server and just pauses, how do i disable this from trying to load so i can login and reinstall? i have a rescue disk and everything so just point me to the file i have to edit. thanks
