I found it interesting that someone would email us looking for help. It happened that Gus was the closest person, so I called him to see if he could help. It make me proud to be a part of a group that would respond this way with a stranger calling for help.
Hats off to Gus and on behalf of KPLUG thank you! -- NJS -------------------------- Original Message -------------------------- Subject: Re: A little Linux help, please From: "Robomarkov" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, June 25, 2007 10:58 pm To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Neil, Many thanks to you and your group. Gus saved me from a reinstall!! It was a strange problem: all the inittab files were gone. Even RPM didn't report anything useful. We used his laptop to download the RPMs and installed them. All is working great now. Again, many thanks to the KPLUG and especially to Gus. I'll certainly be giving Kudos to KPLUG on my blog and to The Robot Group. http://robomarkov.livejournal.com/ http://www.robotgroup.net/index.cgi/MarkHinkle Many Thanks, Mark Hinkle --- Robomarkov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Greetings, > > I need a bit of help.
