Hi Sunil, Thanks, as always, for your generous help with my naive problems. Your comment that networking should work in a chroot env made me look for closely at why I could tab complete the filename /etc/resolv.conf but couldn't cat it (find not found). /etc/resolv.conf was a soft link that pointed to an non-existant file. I created a resolv.conf file and was in business. After a successful apt-get update, some sub-process beneath "apt-get install libpam-abl" segfaulted, but libpam-abl was nevertheless upgraded. The SD card is now back in the sheevaplug. I've booted and logged in no problem. I'm now busily apt-get dist-upgrade'ing! -- [email protected] -- http://www.fastmail.com - Send your email first class _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
