Greetings: I have 2.2.5 up and running on my PC with XFree86, user PPP, and Netscape. On my laptop (a Toshiba Satallite 305CDS) I have 2.2.5 up and running in a dual boot situation with Windows95. I am less ambitious about the laptop. I will be happy with having the pcmcia credit card modem work, user PPP running, and emacs installed. I have the GNU compiler and mtools working fine. In my initial installation from the cdrom, I selected X-user. Later I ran out of room doing a pkg_add for emacs. I tried to make some room by just deleteing the contents of the X11R6 directory. I tried to do a pkg_delete for emacs, but the package list never made it onto my hard drive. Now I can neither pkg_add or pkg_delete it. Trying to run emacs gives me a ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libXmv.so.6.0" I copied the file from the PC and recreated /usr/X11R6 just to contain it, but that did not work. My /usr directory on wd0s3f is at 91% capacity. Perhaps I would be best of starting, not from scratch, but from a clean FreeBSD slice. Could I just do a rm -r * from / and then reboot from the pao-boot.flp? (I doubt it will be that easy, so I'm not about to try anything just yet). I have the Greg Leahy book. Anyway without emacs, I can't really do much. (I'm not about to try re-learning vi). Without a modem or user PPP, I'm isolated from ports. Any suggestions?
