Help! On the recommendation of others, I attempted to download some apps from slink! I had done this before and everything worked fine!
Not this time I need to download libc6 and libreadline2 from slink along with mime-support from slink. I missed then dependency of mime-support until after the damage was done. mime-support reported dependent to ncurses4. I didn't have it now my ncurses3 is broke! I try to use .deb's to repair and they report no script for install. I tried dpkg --configure ncurses3.4 no go...reported that it could not find libncurses.so.4 I tried ldconfig. I got mad. I shutdown the PC!!! I started later....I can't log in because it can't libncurses.so.4......I did not know this was so important a lib!!! I'm a newbie!!! Anyway can this be fixed or do I have to totally re-install!! I don't have a rescue disk -- was going to make it this weekend but.... Can anyone e-mail me rescue144.bin and rawrite so I can make the disk here at work and fix my PC at home. I don't have web or ftp access at work. If not any Ideas....
