Re: AGHHHH! I ruined Linux!
Hi there,
I would probably re-install from scratch. Now is not a good time
to update from 'frozen'! Others may have other ideas! The slink release
although a becoming a little dated is absolutely rock solid. Things start
to go wrong when you start adding packages from potato. I've used slink
out of the box with Vincent's XFree 3.3.6 updates to get access to the
latest graphics cards but the rest is best left alone. Just my two pence.
Best of luck
Regards JohnG
