This is not a Good Thing: These scripts not only copy the things where they should be, but also do some housekeeping work, change permissions here and there, etc. Your system is now in an undefined state. Don't report bugs or ask for a help, if things break... Furthermore, the sleep bug might be a consequence by your disk failure you wrote about in another thread. > 1. sleep 0.1 should change to sleep 1 Wrong. It's a sleep(1) bug. Read my last mail. > 2. ld complaint that goes away when recompiling so the binary > in the deb package contains an error Yes, the code is lose, probably. But again, this didn't cause your problem in the first place. -- Jan Minar "Please don't CC me, I'm subscribed." x 9
