Yeah... I tired fsck, but the floppy doesnt have e2fsck, so I copied it to
the ramdisk, and it complains about some libraries not being there.
This disk is the flakey one, but im not using that part of the disk, and the
problems Im having are too consistant to likely be the disk.
After checking out /bin/sh and /bin/bash, I found that if I tried executing
bash, it complained /mnt/bin/bash: error in loading shared llibraries:
libdl.so.2: connot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So... I looked and there was no /mnt/lib/libdl.so.2 (but ther was
libdl.so.1.9.9) So... I made a symlink from libdl.so.2 to libdl.so.1.9.9 and
get another error about libc.so.5 (but I dont seem to have one...) so... I
copyied the bash that on the floppy (its a different file than the bash on
the disk....) to /mnt/bin/bash (and saved /mnt/bin/bash as bash.orig) and
removed and created another symlink from sh to bash, but I still get the same
wowes.
Im guessing that somehow bash is corrupted, and or libraries are not
installed... more mucking to continue...
