A downloaded package didn't move anything and the only corruption was from my filesystem overflowing. I moved /usr over to another disk and now I only have to use dselect with the ftp access mode to snag the files I want to install. It's sadly slow though on this 28.8 link, wish I had a CD-Rom :( Mike - Muralynd Rev.

dftp and some problems
Woops.. caught the spamfilter (Only mildly annoying) here is the original Okay, I fsck'd up bad :) Instead of doing the smart thing and deleting Dos/WFWG (Actually, I need to keep dos until I get the BBS up under Linux) then making all my drives ext2 I just used one. /dev/hda is fat-16 (Dos C:) /dev/hdb is (was) fat-16 (Dos D: but now mounted on /usr as ext2) /dev/hdc1 ext2 mounted as / /dev/hdc2 swap (30 Megs) okay, now I have most everything fixed.. mostly :) How the *#$)(#$ do I use ftp to install the stuff I want? I have net access over a dialup PPP link, I have pppd in /usr/sbin and the ppp modules load when I boot. The modem is there, everything is the same as before but I can't connect (I have to reboot into dos/windoze to use winsock) I tried to connect and then choose ftp from the dselect access menu but I couldn't get the pppd to connect right. as far as I can see everything is exactly the same (Except lots of stuff that should be in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin is in /bin and /sbin instead.. pppd and chat are in /usr/sbin though) Feeling a little stupid for crashing my system (Wouldn't do anything except dump core because I filled the disk and didn't catch it in time) Mike - Muralynd Rev.
