I Have had a simular experience (admitedly as a newbie, so wasn't adapt
at saving the install) I had a box up for a month ... made many changes.
Everything was fine. Had to shutdown for a thunderstorm. On reboot
install was dorked ... which one of the 100's of changes I made killed
it ???
Lesson learned:
Newbie responce ...
even if it is linux ...
reboot so you know which change/upgrade killed it ...
ie better chance to fix it.
I KNOW THIS is NOT the proper way to do things with Linux ...
but how else do you know?
Please tell me?
I'll change my evil ways...
Sam
