Hello fellow cluggers - I need some assistance with my hard drive install of Knoppix please. It seems that I have broken my apt-get somehow, I have tried everything that I could find to fix it - but maybe someone will know off the top of their head what is causing the dependancy problems mentioned in the error message attached below.
It seems that somehow libc6 was either not installed initially, or has somehow been replaced with something else. It may be that the CD I used is faulty - I did notice some problems with the install - but it completed OK and it all works - I just can't install anything new or do an upgrade etc. Thanks in advance guys Lance Blackler [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/knoppix# cd [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# apt-get upgrade Reading Package Lists...
