I wonder if my shutdown and reboot problem may be related to the other problems being discussed. I tried force installing the package discussed but still having problems. Would there be some other config that needs doing after the installation. Another question i have arises from what is in /b

OK, all you have to do to fix that is do a forced reinstall of the initscripts package on disc 1. My 2.4.4 runs great now. I still wonder why it didn't install with the rest of the stuff in that package... oh well. Nick. On Tuesday, June 26, 2001, at 07:31 AM, jeff wrote: > On Tue, 26 Jun 20
