hate replying to myself, but need some help. due to some other
broken-ness, had to reboot. when I got to a console prompt I could not
login. Got halfway working with a chroot off of a knoppix disk, but
there are a couple of gotchas still - and I really don't know how to
fix it.
Anyone else having issues along this line? I just did an aptitude
update & aptitude upgrade earlier today - and then also was trying to
install new kde components (libqt4-dev & friends, which then brought
in a whole slew of previously held back kde -related things) but that
in and of itself is not relevant to my current problem.
