Re: Can't reinstall sysklogd

[ktb <xyf@inetnebr.com>]

Sorry to keep replying to my own posts but I have sysklogd installed
now.  The thing I did to get around the errors was an accident.  Instead
of going into dselect and selecting sysklogd to install, I ran dselect
again and skipped selecting (I had previously done that) and went strait
to install and it worked perfectly.  The only thing now is I get no
output to xconsole but I will start to work on that.
