You were quite right, it was a flags problem, these files and a few others in other directories had the schg flag set. As part of the upgrade procedure should I go through and weed these out? Or should the upgrade have done this? I'm going to just remove the flags and do it again and see what happens but if you've got any ideas etc... i'd love to hear them. BTW: thanks for the hint man chflags and fstab, i still haven't got the hang of what sort of help you can find in the manpages! (I'm more used to M$ help where it tells you all the things you've tried already, takes you around a loop of if this try that until you get back to where you started from and then tells you to ring your tech support, only problem is that i am the tech support!! :-) ) thanks for the help andrew perry andrew@shoal.net.au On Sun, 23 Feb 1997, Andrew Perry wrote: > G'day all, > > I'm in the middle of an upgrade to 2.1.7 from 2.1.6, yesterday the line > dropped out and I couldn't re-connect so I tried starting again and didn't > select the distributions that had already been upgraded but when it > finished I got an error saying it couldn't find /etc/fstab and that it > wasn't too happy about it.

Check and make sure that those files aren't set append-only or no-change. You can only remove those flags in single-user mode, btw. > does this mean i'm going to have problems? should i download the sources > as well and make world? > > thanks in advance > andrew perry > andrew@shoal.net.au > > Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."
