Yeah it was already pointed out to me that I must have compiled under
2.6.17-amd64 instead of booting into 2.6.18-amd64 first and then running
the m-a stuff.  Lots of steps, boy my butt is getting tired.

Anyway, now I'm up against more missing executables in /usr/bin so I removed
the unstable lines from sources.list and ran:

dpkg -l | grep ii | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs -n 1 apt-get --reinstall install

to brute force rebuild all the missing binaries/symlinks I deleted from /usr/bin last week.

So far I've added 20 new executables I had previously missed 1884 --> 1904 on a 'ls /usr/bin | wc'.


How about: grep -l '/usr/bin' /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list |sed -e 's/.list$//'

That should list which packages should have files in /usr/bin, rather
than every package installed (many of which do not have files in
/usr/bin at all).

Ok ran that a few more times and I don't seem to see any new executables getting
added to /usr/bin.

Fixed the font path in /etc/X11/xorg.conf from:
#    FontPath        "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/:unscaled"
to:
    FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/:unscaled"

Added a symlink for the X-server executable so gdm/kdm could find it:

ln -s /usr/bin/Xorg /usr/bin/X

And X seems to be working, ie have a working graphical login and graphical screen and pointer but
once kde comes up I have no icons just a blank screen and a pointer....seem to have lost my
window manager.

hgh.
