Hello yet again - I was hoping to be able to sit back for a little while and just read the chat on my new hamm system but I still seem to have some problems !!!
Once again the downloading went mostly well but installation and config are a major problem. Initially errors were that ef2sprogs conflicts with dump and perl pre-depends libc5 (or something like that !) After those errors things looked good for a while BUT then a million errors ( certainly too many to read ) scrolled up the screen and dselect again gave up in disgust ! I then chose the "select" option and without making any choices hit enter to let dselect work out the dependancy problems. Without looking I accepted dselects solution and downloaded more software, allowed install etc... MORE PROBLEMS Most of the problems seem to stem from the non-installation of libc5 and libg++ ... but I understand from yesterdays talk that these are obsolete. What can I do ? Eventually I moved down the "remove unwanted software" and said "yes". It seems as though dselect wanted to delete everything on my system - telling me on many occasions that it was not going to delete a file because it is a required file (thankfully it again gave up deleting because of the number of errors) I then decided to manually install pine to try to talk to you but again there was problems. Pine it seems requires ncurses which requires libc5. Once again I have to talk to you through windoze! Am I doing something incredibly wrong (stupid) ??? Final Question: As I have installed (I think) most of the suggested software for a "dialup user" how can I reinstate the original suggestions that were made when I first booted into hamm? (are these suggestions valid ?) Whatever help as many people as possible can give me will be appreciated as I have downloaded almost 1G by now and the ISP is not going to be very happy with me !!!
