I re-ran the user-install, and it recovered everything just fine. I had exactly the same symptoms though, locked up at the spash screen and refused to do anything else. I *did* discover that running it under a different login than my main login worked, and that's what lead me to run the end-user install again. It ran, found itself, and asked if I wanted to "uninstall" or "repair" the installation. I chose "repair" and haven't had any trouble since (including upgrades to 4.3R and then tracking back into 4-S). My (current) best guess is that somehow upgrading (cvsup) on a virtual terminal while having SOffice running on a different terminal/login caused something to break--perhaps in the make world stage, while rebuilding linux emulation?--, since I usually do this from the console, and I may have been logged in to X on a different screen at the time. mike > * Larry Rosenman <ler@airmail.net> [010614 15:29]: > > * Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> [010614 10:19]: > > > Larry Rosenman <ler@ler-freebie.iadfw.net> types: > > > > On Thu, Jun 14, 2001 at 09:56:52AM -0500, Mike Meyer wrote: > > > > > Larry Rosenman <ler@ler-freebie.iadfw.net> types: > > > > > > On Fri, Jun 15, 2001 at 12:50:13AM +1000, Kal Torak wrote: > > > > > > > Strange it was working fine after I cvsup'd about ~1 week > > > > > > > ago... > > > > > > > > > > > > Ok, so somewhere between ~1 week ago and yesterday....
