I ran "updatedb" as root, to make sure that slocate was getting everything and 
it bombed to a scolling text screen with the lights on my keyboard blinking 
madly away (synchronized though). I'm assuming this means a kernel panic?

I had to force a hard reboot, whereupon a I got a message about some xfont 
being not there, and the xserver will not start now, so X won't work.

Short of a complete re-install, can anyone tell me how to fix the database so 
it does not crash?

and maybe then it will fix the xfont/server problem?

Thanks (desparate).

PS Thank goodness for cable-modem service and a Dlink router - I'm able to 
send this from my sons computer.... :-)
