Even if there were any Linux boot sector viruses they wouldn't be able to write to the boot sector without root privileges. Have you run any dodgy binary software as root lately? I'd say it's much, much, much more likely that you have dodgy hardware. > ---------- > eiom > -*** req base libc6 GNU C lib.... > --** std devel libc6-dev GNU C lib.... > > libc6 suggests locales > libc6-dev depends on libc6 (= 2.2.5-6) > > libc6-dev depends on libc6 (= 2.2.5-6) > > I have libc6 2.3.1-3 installed, and no idea about how to > degrade to 2.2.5-6, what would hopefully solve the problem. > Dselect may be forced (by Q or stg) to install the packages > i want to (at nearly all package I try to install, this > libc6 notification comes up, and only forced install is > possible), but netscape for instance siply ceased its > installation due to libc6 error, what I can not tell right now. Are you running unstable or sarge?

Uh, have you run an X server? Try just running 'X' and see what happens. Have you configured X yet? > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > Why does woody lists mounted win patition's files as > executables (text files, etc)? Because FAT has no concept of permissions. There's no way for the file system code to figure out if a file is supposed to be executable or not. I'm sure there's an option to change this behaviour, but I don't know it. -rob
