Re: apt-get, upgrade, /var/cache/apt/archives
No, I don't. I re-installed frtom the slink cd again, so all was lost. I have another problem now:
After choosing the scientific workstation in slink 2.1, I did, pointing sources.list to frozen,
1. apt-get update
2. apt-get dist-upgrade
Here all went smooth, but then, after I did
3. apt-get install lyx apt-move dpkg-dev alien
the system went postal, the screen was passing really fast, showing something like "Error ... hole in 3?4?.."
The system did not respond to <Control>+<C>, nor would allow me switching to any other console-terminal. So I pushed the reboot button, but then it would not come back normally, it had a
problem with the file system, allowed me to enter only as read. I don't know how to fix it. Basically I have now a potato system that is unusable for me. Please help.
Thanks,
Antonio.
