Hey Group: What in the world is going on with 8.2. It seems that a lot of thing are failing. The most recent is "chroot". Yes! it is requested to change "/" (root) to /media/hdb1 which is a mounted reiser file system. chroot /media/hdb1 cd /media/hdb1 shows all files and directoies. ERROR /bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /tmp # ldd /lib/libncurses.so.5.3 libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40075000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) This same process worked great in 8.0. As a note this hdb drive has had nothing done on it since 8.0 was upgraded to 8.2. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org Info: http://www.knoppix.net
