I attempted to install the mc updates via MandrakeUpdate and my system seemed to freeze. I restarted in runlevel 3, grabbed the rpms via FTP and attempted to update using: rpm -Fvh mc-4.5.51-7.1mdk.i586.rpm I see: # mc ##################################" # VM: rpm process killed # I got the rpm from: ftp://download.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/mandrake/update/7.2/ If I switch to a consol with X running, I see... # VM: X process killed # VM: kdeinit process killed # VM: kdenotify process killed # VM: rpm process killed # between the invokation of the rpm command and the kernel message "VM: rpm process killed" my system does not respond, not on any virtual terminal. I Alt-F(n) between them but the login prompt does not get around to requesting a password. Que malo - please help!!!!
