me too at this point .. not much is working and I suspect a rat in there somewhere. I can not do the most simple things like open a terminal. Nothing seems to start and I don't want ot shut down my current working apps which consists of a browser and two xterms. I did manage to mount the Microsoft Vista DVD as a UDF filesystem just for a lark : http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/blog/images/snv_70_003.png but nothing here is working very well ... I better get that Microsoft DVD out of there! I was hoping to install it under QEMU but at this point I think that is just not going to happen. I may just go back to square zero and reinstall.
