Bruno Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Colin . . let us not waste time then :DFrom the topbar menu: Applications --> System --> Configuration --> Configure your Computer. Then give your rootpassword in the dialog. After that press the "Software Management" icon and then "Install" . . . . press OK when asked. Then the Software install GUI comes up: Now you can type "anacron" in the searchbox and press search. Once found tick the box of the package and press install . . . it will ask you for a CD . .provide the CD and go on with the install.Let me know if the install was successful . . . . give it time to finish the processes.

Bruno Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 No indeed . . it is looking like PCLos is gone down the drain :(Well we just will wait for the next version of PCLos and will install that one later on hda9 . . ;)Let us try to reboot Colin and see if KDE still acts weird after the updates . . if it does press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and come back to Gnome.

Bruno Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 (edited) Colin . . . Cold shutdowns are extremely harmfull for your install !!!Better next time Ctrl+Alt+F1 . . then log in as root ( not "su" ) and type reboot . . . . First now on the Agenda is making a boot-CD . . . open a console and: $ su< password ># mkrescue --iso --initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.3-7mdk.img --kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3-7mdk This will put a "rescue.iso"file in your /home/colin . . . . either rightclick it and choose burn a CD with K3b . . or: # cdrecord dev=0,0,0 rescue.iso ( see to it that there is a CD in the drive ) BrunoAfter this is screen resolution Edited April 24, 2004 by Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
