apt-get screwed ? please help
In an attempt to mount /usr normally and then remount it ro to upgrade
packages I must have screwed something.
Now in order to straighten things I have tried to mount the /usr rw upon
boot but I still get errors.
Here is what I do and related data. Any help please ???
TIA,
Bob
