Re: [leaf-user] Segmentation Fault on Back-Up Attempt?
Joe could that be a HW problem on the floppy drive? HTH Erich At 00:28 02.10.2003 -0500, you wrote: Hi all. I've got the most annoying problem, and I think I'm...well, screwed.

RE: [leaf-user] Segmentation Fault on Back-Up Attempt?
Things I would try: 1. Replace the floppy drive 2. Can't do 1, boot the floppy in another machine and try backup from there. Memory problems would be down on my list of things to check, although anything that has changed since this last worked would be suspect.

RE: [leaf-user] Segmentation Fault on Back-Up Attempt?
Yeah, I was beginning to suspect the floppy. Every few reboots (they're often - I'm still in development/config) the boot process trips over a crc error during gunzip of some package or other. What a pain in the butt. How rough, exactly, is the 1680K format on those things? I feel a little better that memory problems are low on the list.
