Hi all,
I am not sure the posting belongs to this group. Please advice.
I did a 1.6.1 installation (formal release April 2003 i386). After that, I
downloaded all the current sources (8.nov 2003) compiled those and did a
successful install to 1.6.1ZE (GENERIC) (8.nov.03)
After the installation process I made a etcupdate. (just etcupdate no
parameters)
This produced some errors on the screen, wich I could not note down because
I was unable to page back on the screen, my fault.
Erroneously I had the screen logging not enabled. I started the logging and
did another etcupdate with no parameters, which went trough without
producing any errors.
I am skeptical that the second run was something like a empty run and did
nothing.
Question:
before I mess more up, what is the best thing to do?
(The original /etc before the update is on a tar file)
Thank you in advance looking at this subject.
