Gee, Ollie, I've gone and made a real mess now! :-)
I downloaded and installed Woody using apt-get. When the
process was finished and I went to shut down Progeny (in which
many files were replaced by generic Debian files during the Woody
install) I got a small window with some boxes but no text. I had to
power down.
Since it was then 1:30AM I decided to wait until morning.
Powered up and it loaded 2.2.18 and ran through some stuff and
then presented a log-in window with no text and when I tried to
enter Root and Password it doesn't recognize my entry.
I think that the Woody install bollixed up the keyboard mapping
as I recall some poorly explained choices during the Woody install
and selected the default.
During the Woody setup I made these non-default choices (in some
cases there was no default):
bsd-ftpd Yes re. use debconf
Postfix Internet Site
World Writable Mail Drop Yes
Locales (no explanation of options offered) af_ZA ISO-8859-1
[Edit: /etc/locale.gen then Run: locale-gen]
Error: libgnomeprint15 depends on GS, not yet configured.
While the Woody install was processing I received the following
errors:
libwww-perl
lintian
dpkg-dev
devscripts
alien
kernel-package
dh-make
gmc
libgnomeprint15
libgnomeprint-bin
libgnomeprint-date
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Help? Doc
