hello,
I found the latest copy of the libc.so file and killed it.
After that, I compiled and installed a new kernel.(1.4.3)
I reboot the machine, and at this moment, all is OK!
I go to /usr/src, and do a "make build", again.
It stop after a few hours with the message :
rmail.c "Bad format ........."
*** error 1 ***
or something like.
I don't use mail, but I don't know what are uncompiled and uninstalled.
Is it obliged to do all one more time?
help ??? (I am a beginner in this work)
thank's.
R.
