1 Hi there, i have this big big problem:
2 i tried to emerge openoffice(bin) and i have left without space in the root
3 partition (openoffice installs in /opt which is in the / partition in my
4 case) so emerge stops with an error. Then i rebooted a cupple of times and
5 everything was ok (except that any partition could be mounted, only
6 /boot....rare because kde was "seeing" all partitions (i have: / /var /usr
7 /home /boot)). But then i removed openoffice from /opt (manually, because
8 emerge couldn't install it completly because of the space), so the
9 space-problem get resolved (apparently), i rebooted and get with this
10 mesagge (aprox. 20 times contiguous):
11 "/sbin/rc: line 831: schedule_service_startup: command not found
12 /sbin/rc: line 831: service_started: command not found"
13 Then i get prompted to login but it doesen't work at all ("login
14 incorrect..")
15 This error reproduces every time i try to start the system (so i can't
16 start).
17 what's up here? and the more important:
18 is there a way to save the system or i have to install everything from
19 scratch?! (have it sense to "re"tar the stage?)
20 any suggestions welcome...thanks
