OK, I was looking for an update for the stdlibc and gcc gcc+
libraries and such (got tired of installing software that
required one library or another that didn't install when
I selected "everything" from the 6.1 install) so me thinks "Let's
try the update button on the KDE panel".
Stupid move. Every thing d/l'd fine so I reboot and my machine
erupts. I get " ~^[[24~^[[24 "'s streaming across my screen,
the internal speaker is screaming as the filesystem is being
mounted (NOT a pleasant thing at 12:30 am). Doah, I forgot to
edit /etc/lilo.conf to reflect the new 2.2.13-22 kernel and rerun
lilo. OK that's done but I still have the same problem and any
time I enter into a terminal mode my screen again erupts into
streaming " ~~~~~~~~~~" anytime I look at it crosseyed and seem
to be having general keyboard problems typing this. I also now
get an error msg that my kernel does not have kppp support but
launches it anyway when I hit "OK".
This folks is rediculous, I suppose it's my fault for trying to
fix something that wasn't broke but all I wanted was the
libraries that should have loaded in the first place.
Please, anyone got any suggestions
