I was able to do an apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade. It complained that it couldn't access /usr/share/terminfo/a/ansis because of permissions (mind you, I was root). I can't ls that file; I do indeeed get "Permission denied". And during package install, it runs ldconfig. And I got similar couldn't access messgaes on some libraries (libkscorreapplet, I think, and libdns-hessiod) ... and then the system rebooted. Shades of MS Windows! :-( runnig ldconfig after rebooting produced another reboot. KDE won't run, presumably because of the permission problem on some of those libraries. GNOME will, but gnome-terminal won't. <SIGH> So what should I do now? I presume I need to change the perms on those files, but everytime I run ldconfig, it reboots. I have a rescue CD somewhere, and might be able to mount that partition, and change the owner to roor:root (I think).
