Please select from the menu above (-1 to ignore this update): 1
/usr/sbin/etc-update: line 233: read: 1: syntax error: operand expected (error t
oken is "1")
Exiting: User termination!
bash-2.05b#
Replace the question marks with garbage. This is actually better then when I tried to
update other selections with etc-update, all I get with those is a display full of
garbage characters and then the xterm window locks up on Me. I guess I should be happy
etc-update terminated before it actually started trying to alter the above config
file. I also tried it with Konsole(since I'm in KDE) and Eterm, same thing.
Thanks,
Kent
