🚀 go-pugleaf

I've resolved the problem by doing a new complete install from the Sept 
96 
Infomagic release.  I figure this has greater integrity than pulling 
the 
disk-sets down bit by bit and then adding extras.
Beacuse I hadn't put too much effort into the system since install, and 
kept 
notes on what I had done so far, I was easily able to backup my own 
stuff, 
re-install and restore my stuff.
pppd now works fine... now for X and Netscape.....

Thanks for your consideration,

|I've checked that '/lib/libc.so.5' exists.  
|It is a link to the (existing) '/lib/libc.so.5.3.12'
|'root' can read them ok (-rw-r--r--)
|
|I've did a simple install of linux (first time for 2.0.0) but not 
first
| time for linux).
|
|I've thought about getting the pppd source and recompiling it.  I've 
tried 
|compiling a new kernel ver 2.0.13 (I'm a newbie to this tho' but it 
seems 
|pretty straightforward)
|
|Any ideas ?

|TIA, David
