Can tou attach a mompressed version of your .config file At this early stage, it also sounds like udev is rrying to be started twice. You shoul dbe starting in run level 3. The onlt startup scripts you should have are ./rc3.d: S10sysklogd S20network and maybe sshd ./rcsysinit.d: S00mountkernfs S05modules S20swap S40mountfs S50udev_retry S80localnet S02consolelog S10udev S30checkfs S45cleanfs S70console S90sysctl As you can see, udev is started very early in the process -- 3rd sincd you are not using modules. > Suggestions welcome. > I've got some misc questions, one related to the command "which" i > am wondering where that is?

Make sure that the 'set nocompatible' installed be default is removed. Within vim, look at :help viminfo. Basically when you 'set compatible', it won't be used. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
