More Urgent HAMM Install help needed
Hello yet again - I was hoping to be able to sit back for a little while
and just read the chat on my new hamm system but I still seem to have some
problems !!!
Once again the downloading went mostly well but installation and config are
a major problem.
Initially errors were that ef2sprogs conflicts with dump and perl
pre-depends libc5 (or something like that !)
After those errors things looked good for a while BUT then a million errors
( certainly too many to read ) scrolled up the screen and dselect again
gave up in disgust !
I then chose the "select" option and without making any choices hit enter
to let dselect work out the dependancy problems. Without looking I
accepted dselects solution and downloaded more software, allowed install
etc... MORE PROBLEMS
Most of the problems seem to stem from the non-installation of libc5 and
libg++ ... but I understand from yesterdays talk that these are obsolete.
What can I do ?
Eventually I moved down the "remove unwanted software" and said "yes". It
seems as though dselect wanted to delete everything on my system - telling
me on many occasions that it was not going to delete a file because it is a
required file (thankfully it again gave up deleting because of the number
of errors)
I then decided to manually install pine to try to talk to you but again
there was problems. Pine it seems requires ncurses which requires libc5.
Once again I have to talk to you through windoze!
Am I doing something incredibly wrong (stupid) ???
Final Question: As I have installed (I think) most of the suggested
software for a "dialup user" how can I reinstate the original suggestions
that were made when I first booted into hamm?
(are these suggestions valid ?)
Whatever help as many people as possible can give me will be appreciated as
I have downloaded almost 1G by now and the ISP is not going to be very
happy with me !!!
All the best
Ivan.
