Well, I couldn't even do a shutdown so I closed by eyes and crossed my
fingers and hit the reset button. Fsck came up with a bunch of errors
and stale inodes, etc. I ended up loosing a few files most of which I
restored. All seems to be ok now.
The funny thing is that the checksecurity script had just run and I
noticed it was checking drives I didn't need checked so I modified the
checksecurity.conf file and ran it by hand to see if I had fixed it.
If anyone wants to be a saint and send me copies of any of the
following I would appreciate it. I don't want to download the whole
packages over my modem just for a few files.
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fvwm2.conffiles
/usr/doc/apache/examples/extensions/README
/usr/doc/netstd/bootpc
/usr/doc/CGI-modules/examples
I also lost
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compat/[basic,mousekeys,default,iso9995,japan,misc,norepeat,pc]
but I downloaded xbase and extracted them because I needed X and these
prevented it from working.
Thanks,
Brian
