- Thanks. I actually ran across your solution by accident when I started
- loading up the /usr files, but was not aware of why it worked.
-
- Now it gets past that, but the login prompt is badly managled and I can only
- login in as mw. The prompt ends up being multiple lines, spaced across the
- display and with missing or rearranged letters. However it does accept input
- and comes back with the normal password prompt. I have tried changing the
- root password via passwd and editing /etc/passwd, but the login process will
- not accept it. Anyone have any hints on this weirdness?
-
- PS: Is there a problem with the mailing list? The amount of traffic seems to
- have slowed down and the response time seems to be a day or two
- compared to several hours last week. If people are just busy, OK,
- but this also corresponds with the new site switch over, so I thought
- I would mention it.
