What is the error in detail you get ?

I found the original article:

I wonder who puts that in the wiki anyway.

Zafer, Istanbul'dan merhaba...

I think it is my fault, probably, although i followed the steps as decribed. After kernel upgrade, i installed new kernel and once i restarted OS, it restarted itself after 30 secs later.

Now i reinstalled netbsd4 kernel, and checked /var/log/messages. I see:

/home/username/.gconf exists and writable. Strange.


Zafer,

I have KDE, Pardus theme, openoffice and lots of softwares installed. After upgrade, all /usr/pkg/* will remain and keep original settings?

I'm an intermedieate user, can compile my kernel etc.
