Hi

I turned on my computer today and got the following error message

**
.

usual stuff
.

.
INIT:version 2.84 booting
/bin/sh:error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
INIT: entering runlevel 4
/bin/sh:error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/bin/sh:error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

At this point it stops.

tried using bootdisk but get same thing...


Last night i was updating via Swaret (great program) I was updating various things..i can remember a few only - some dependencies for DVD::rip - transcode/ImageMagik etc - cant remember much else...the main thing was that my machine froze on one of the updates (downloading it not installing). I switched my machine off and then turned it on again a short while ago.

I have absolutely no idea what i did (or didnt do). I cant find my original Slack disks although i can reburn them later at a friends if needed.

I really dont want to reinstall from scratch as i have spent a long time getting things working and set up as i like it....but if that is the only thing i can do then i will do it.


thanks
Ali

you may be an ideal candidate to consider using a partition image system to restore your system. It especially works work on clean installs and clean added software ie no browsing or adding junk software between images.
