Zafer, Istanbul'dan merhaba...

I think it is my fault, probably, although i followed the steps as decribed.
After kernel upgrade, i installed new kernel and once i restarted OS, it
restarted itself after 30 secs later. 

Now i reinstalled netbsd4 kernel, and checked /var/log/messages. I see:

 

-----/var/log/messages------------------------------------

/home/username/.gconf exists and writable. Strange.


Zafer,

I have KDE, Pardus theme, openoffice and lots of softwares installed. After
upgrade, all /usr/pkg/* will remain and keep original settings?

I'm an intermedieate user, can compile my kernel etc.

Regards,
