It just seems +altogether more prudent to do it from a "safe" environment, but I'd be +happy to hear people's opinions on this one. + +Probably best for a new discussion thread tho'. + +Cheers + +Col + + +-- + +Colin Guthrie +colin(at)mageia.org +<A HREF="http://colin.guthr.ie/">http://colin.guthr.ie/</A> + +Day Job: + Tribalogic Limited <A HREF="http://www.tribalogic.net/">http://www.tribalogic.net/</A> +Open Source: + Mageia Contributor <A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/">http://www.mageia.org/</A> + PulseAudio Hacker <A HREF="http://www.pulseaudio.org/">http://www.pulseaudio.org/</A> + Trac Hacker <A HREF="http://trac.edgewall.org/">http://trac.edgewall.org/</A> +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="017631.html">[Mageia-dev] Failed to boot after /usr move +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="017641.html">[Mageia-dev] Failed to boot after /usr move +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#17633">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#17633">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#17633">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#17633">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
