I am running ReHat 6.1 on a PIII 500 machine. This morning I downloaded the considerable list of updates from fpt.tux.com and installed them with the command: rpm -Uvh --force *.rpm I rebooted the machine, and it failed to boor due to a missing /sbin/initlog executable. (It allowed me to logon as root in single user command-line mode. I had to mount the filesystem as read/write and copied the initlog file from a co-workers pc)
That really shouldn't happen (of course.) It's showing up here is being in the packages, and we can't reproduce it here.
