Title: Re-installing HOTPLUG
Post by: digital_soul18 on July 29, 2004, 10:41:05 am

Hello, I was having sync problems with my XP to 5500 and read somehwere that I needed to uninstall and then reinstall my Hotplug feeds in order to get it running. I seemed to have uninstalled hotplug ok from the package installer/uninstaller then downloaded the latest from the website and put it on CF and put it in my 5500. Problem is that I cant reinstall it as it says "Package hotplug wants to install files /sbin/hotplug/xxxxx But that file is already provided by package <no package> Please remove this file out of the way and try again."

It repeats this msg over multiple files and I dont know how to install it. When I goto the File manager I dont see the /sbin/ folder there and any thing related to the other files it complains about..

What do I do? Is this because the hotplug depends on "libc6" & "ifupdown" feeds? If so, how do we disable them?



Jesus, this stupid open OZ has taken more time for me to set up then has helped to organise my life...

It says file can't be found

At the moment, I have the hotplug file in my SD card, how and where do I put it on the zaurus to be able to install it (sorry im a newbie to linux)?
