Hi there,
I just installed FC1 last night and let it ran the updates, there were 100 of them. Then after it errored out half way through, my computer wouldn't run right. No X-Window programs were opening, i could get to terminal sessions etc. So I decided to reboot (old habit), then when my system came up I was greeted with: "'X' is respawning to fast... suspending for 5 minutes" or something like that. So I logged in to the command line and tried 'startx'. I then was greeted with this message: "error while loading shared libraries libXmau.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such File or Directory"

So then after some searching around at the red hat site, I found how to invoke the X Configator for RH9 so I tried (can't remember the exact command but this is close): redhat-configure-XFree86 Same error as startx. So is it possible that up2date messed up my X-Windows? Is there a way to recover except by reinstall?
Thanks,
Ryan
what has most likely happened is that some programs/files are upgraded
for X and not others. This is my yum.conf (go ahead and use these
mirrors).
As root run the command <yum upgrade> and hopefully this will fix your
system.

2 Questions now: 1) What is the command for the <yum upgrade>, i can figure out the switches and args that I will need, just need a little help getting pointed in the right direction 2) Should I not use up2date and just this yum update?

Thanks,

Ryan
