As I said, I've been there, so I know it's not a pleasant feeling! |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Fortunately, I had read about the glibc thing over a year earlier, in |
| 24 |
O'Reilly's Running Linux, which I had picked up on a recommendation when I |
| 25 |
started getting serious about Linux. That book paid for itself many times |
| 26 |
over, and that was one of them! Had it not been for that, I too would |
| 27 |
have been posting a frantic HELP!! message to an appropriate list, in my |
| 28 |
case, after booting from my backup root. |

So now I can say I've passed on the wisdom to at least one other person in |
| 31 |
dire need! As I said, very glad I could help! =8^) |
