Lucas,

Yes, but Manager does not show a pending revision to DHCPCD! It shows the my
current version as 2.0! It does not show a 'newer' reviosion awaiting update!
Maybe I dont understand the update mechanism!

Also my system is wrecked again with the KERNEL TOO OLD message! I updated the
kernel using the package location that someone on this list supplied as the
official package returned a 404

I rebooted after the InstallPackage, but did not check the Kernel version! In
fact I booted in and out several times after the kernel update fixing & checking
this dhcpcd problem! Having sorted that I went on to install some updates! I did
not do Glibc independantly because I had forgotten that I needed to! I went down
the list again and got as far as ATK. This hung in Manager after the
verification message! So I tried InstallPackage ATK which came up with the
dependancy message for Glibc at the point at which Manager hung so maybe there
is a bug in Manager with request dialogs?? In any event I said yes to Glibc and
after installation hit the KERNEL TOO OLD! It was only during the shutdown
message that I noticed I was still on 2.6.17!!

Is there a step missing in the Kernel update and grub or something was not
changed? Or is there a p[roblem with the package I used which is not the
official one! With the system crashed I have lost the EMail with the url so cant
specify what it was (Typing this using webmail from windows!!!), but it is
evident that the reboot after the change did not load the new kernel!

I tried to resymlink the older version of GLIBc after realising there was a
problem before shutting down, but any command in the Terminal window results in
KERNEL TOO OLD and any applications I trie dto fire up like Thunderbird to save
my EMails for example just flashed up on the screen and died!

Can I recover this as this time I had dome some configuration of the system and
dont want to start again again!

Can someone give me a step by step if so?

Also a step by step on installing a new kernel using InstallPackage would be
good as there things which perhaps are obvious to you and you do automatically,
but I am not doing!

I am not a linux newbie per se as I use PCLinuxOS daily as well as Windows XP,
but I am not a command line afficiando preferring the gui solutions so am not
terribly familiar with the config files although I did manage to edit fstab so
that I could mount my usb flash disk!

Any help appreciated
