Since hamm was frozen, I started the process of updating my bo system. I've been running hamm now for a week or so, and using FTP to update all of my out-of-date packages. Last night I installed some of the new packages, ( of which the only important one I remember was sysvinit ), and when I rebooted my system, I was no longer able to open a tty, and thus even though I logged in, and Linux validated my password, it was unable to give me a shell.
After examining the boot messages, and seeing a line that said 'unable to find /etc/init.d/boot', I booted up from a beautiful little slackware rescue disk, and saw that my boot was now boot.OLD. How do I find out what package did this? I assume that whatever package moved my boot to boot.OLD, was intending to write a new file. Do I need this new boot file? My system seems to be running fine w/ my old boot. Bill Van Devender -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
