Sorry to be so cryptic.
I installled glibc-2_1_990219,
libjpeg-6b,
libpng-1_0_1-5,
zlib-1_1_3-2,
XFree86 3_3_3_1-1 and
amaya 1_3b. All rpms.
I tried to 'startx' but got the following error message, now repeating
at boot: shell-init could not get current directory:getwd:cannot
access parent directories' .
This hang at boot starts when init is started, and is followed by
'trying to initialize swap', where the screen freezes.
There is not any data on this system to save, but fixing it would be
preferable to reinstalling.
thanks for any suggestions.
