Sluggers,
I have a system where I installed Smoothwall via one mboard due to a
faulty BIOS (can't upgrade and date is stuck at 2074) on the target. On
the donor it works fine (date is set to sometime in 2050). The system have
the same type of processor (P90) and same NIC.
When I put the HD back in the target machine I get an error concerning
that modules.dep is older than conf.modules. The datestamps are ...
10-06-1994 modules.dep
16-08-2000 conf.modules
I had thought just to use "touch --date" to freshen the date of one, but
the system didn't have touch and when I went to try and copy it via floppy
the whole thing started getting messy with the donor machine having a
faulty floppy and the target being unable to mount an ext2 floppy ... a
five minute job gave me a Royal headache.
Anyway that was late one night and I have had too much Laphroig to think
straight now, is there an easier way to fix this without pulling floppies
from somewhere?
Thanks in advance
