Well as anyone who has noticed my messages knows...im a new convert to
debian
and I _HAD_ a working 486sx/25 going./...untill about 5 mins ago
good thing I have 2 PCs on my desk...
right now only 2 things work...
on tty8 I have a telnet session...which is setup in inittab (it telnets
to this
host respawning each time it disconnects) which is open...and
top on tty12
thats it
for your pleaser here is what I see on tty1 :
/sbin/getty: can't load library 'libc.so.5'
/sbin/getty....
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minites
--end--
all of the tty's with gettys on them do that now...isn't it um...cute?
yes...I destroyed libc5
heres the story...
I need samba....the samba package I got said it needed libc6...so I
tried
to install libc6
it said libc5 was the problem and it couldn't oinstall...
so rather than thinking...I found the dpkg options to tell it to remove
libc5...and in an expediant fashion...which it happily did
then I found I could do nothing...wlel no..I could "cd" and "echo *" to
emulate ls
and I could logout
can I save this system?
I have a boot floppy..and all my original 8 debian install disks...
any suggestions?
-Steve
