I had the same problems; I ended up having to run XFdrake to configure X; rebuilding the symbolic links in /etc/rc5.d/ for "network" and "portmap" - this was why NFS was failing to start on my system no lo0 or eth0 devices! Be warned if you try to upgrade kdebase that you will get a cpio unlink error during the rpm upgrade/install - there is a posting on this list as to how to fix it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Svante Signell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2000 5:53 PM Subject: [expert] 7.2 upgrade problems > Upgrading from 7.1 to 7.2 (.iso files) goes well until the > configuration of X.
