<HTML><BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF>Hi
<BR>
Ok its very complicated to explain
<BR>
So I'll try to keep it simple
<BR>
<BR>
I guess the graphics don't work now or it won't open icewm or kde
<BR>
<BR>
The mod probe error that we came in to CB about was not solved
<BR>
I did clean and auto-clean as advised by LUV
<BR>
this helped temporarily
<BR>
The problem was a debug or bug was switched on in pppconfig
<BR>
and with the modem not working before and all the dial ups a log report thingy got so full and <BR>
filled up the hdd.
<BR>
<BR>
I disabled the bug reporting in pppconfig and did not remove the log but emptied it
<BR>
I think using >
<BR>
I emptied a couple of other things someone said to do using the > or < what ever it was he <BR>
told me
<BR>
the hard drive went from 99% critical to 78%
<BR>
It rose to critical in about 10 mins from if i remember from 86%
<BR>
<BR>
the there was a problem in booting it only goes to a term window
<BR>
i can get onto the net with it and navigate around but no screens and won't go icewm or kde
<BR>
It boots up as normal as far as I can see
<BR>
with an error at the end i think its with the x server
<BR>
sreserfs error?
<BR>

back to where I started in this black hole where ever it is the giant terminal window
<BR>
Haven't a clue to what happened
<BR>
Still the same to night
<BR>
can log into to /avery and /david and su
<BR>
have to go su and shutdown now to log out
<BR>
can pon and poff
<BR>
can get into pppconfig
<BR>
can find where files are can't mount floppy or unmount floppy to save anything
<BR>
<BR>
Look someone scared me off CB's version of Debian because of its experimentals
<BR>
We just want something light with icewm, mozilla openoffice pppconfig one program to listen <BR>
to CD's and one video viewer and forgo kde just so the hdd won't fill up
<BR>
Do i need to reinstall debian or can I fix this
<BR>
apt-get -fix --missing or something
<BR>
<BR>
cheers
<BR>
thanks
<BR>
