here's a second question. how come (for instance) [code]apt-get remove xpaint[/close] doesn't work?..
it seems that when I do a dpkg-query -l, many packages are missing from that list
thanks again,
-edCan you remaster from within X once you chroot KNOPPIX and mount proc? I tried to do this by using startx and it wouldn't work. ThanksI'm working in X to remaster DSL, seems to be working fine, what's the problem?
-edThanks for the reply,ed.
I am following the remstering how-to reinstalling apt.
I follow the 5 steps listed. I chroot and mount proc outside of X and then type "startx". I get through the setup routine with the server and mouse settings and then I am kicked out to a command prompt.
The error I get is:
xinit: no such file or directory (errno 2): no program named "/root/.xinitrc" in path.
I am guessing that I have left something out but I am not sure what.
Thanks for your help!
Chris

i am trying to put dsl on a usb thumbdrive but when i try the $sudo mke2fs /dev/sda4 command i get this error mke2fs: no such device or address while trying to determine filesystem size
Hmmm... how have you determined that it's the fourth partition on your USB ThumbDrive that needs formatting? Will $sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda produce a partition listing for you? What of sdb, sdc, sdd...Next Page...
