Start with gpm, as it s generally simpler than X. First some necessary reality checks: Are you sure that /tmp and /var (or maybe the whole of /) are nt mounted 'ro'? or maybe some file systems are njot mounted at all? Or maybe some directories do not exists? I assume that you have already checked those (or you would have noticed them), but just in case. Anyway, all those messages hint of a file-system level problem. Can 'touch' and 'rm' be used to create and/or delete the relevant files? -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
