</I>><i> so there were a number of updates waiting.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I started with the full update, which failed, part-way through, as

</I>><i>
</I>><i> Basically I followed the hints you gave Charles, and finally got
</I>><i> things running again.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I would suggest, then, that you make "update your kernel and reboot"
</I>><i> the very first instruction, before updating everything else.
</I>><i> Undoubtedly there will be others who, for whatever reason, don't have
</I>><i> the absolute latest kernel, and don't realise that an update is needed.
</I>
I have updated the command in the wiki to be:
urpmi --auto-update --skip '/filesystem|ncurses/'
(as I have pointed earlier in this thread)
This will install a lot more packages (including kernel), before the
/usr move.
