Hi All I upgraded from RH9 to FC1 all the symbolic links now have question marks on them? Fedora seems to work OK except now and again certain programs refuse to work from the launch menu. I was trying to install the java plugin last night, every thing went fine until I tried: "ln -s libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/" while it created the symbolic link file the file had a padlock, a link arrow and a question mark. the said file contained nothing, an error message of this file seems to no longer exist is displayed. Some other commands I have tried in Bash do not seem to work either. I have looked at google, purchased "The Linux Bible" (not cheap I might add) all to no avail My question is in two parts really, is my bash program corrupted? and if so how do I fix it, and if not is it possible there is something else lurking around my system which is left running from when I ungraded that is destroying my symbolic links. I do get "Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy" when trying to exit kcron. I lean more to the problem being Bash as a lot of the learning exercises I have tried from books do not work on my system. Regards Peter Cannon peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
