Informix patches for Linux screw up laptops

Hi all! I have installed the informix 7.3 ids on few computers and always installed the required patches from redhat and informix. I always got some error messages while it tried to remove a non-empty directory, but the computer booted and informix worked. Trying to install those patches on a laptop display the same errors, the computer still boots - but all the PCMCIA devices and drivers can not be seen or accessed any more. Does anybody have any experience with Linux and laptops??

I put IDS 7.3 with patches on the patched RH5.2 / Linux 2.0.36 drive of my laptop. (Hey, it was a long flight, I needed something to do.) It worked fine, although by main board *burned out* before I had a chance to use the PCMCIA network card. When the board's replaced, I'll get back with you. Wierd problem... kevyn_schneider@administaff.com ;-{> On Thu, 25 Feb 1999 18:46:18 GMT, stochner@my-dejanews.com wrote: >Hi all! > >I have installed the informix 7.3 ids on few computers and always installed >the required patches from redhat and informix. > >I always got some error messages while it tried to remove a non-empty >directory, but the computer booted and informix worked. > >Trying to install those patches on a laptop display the same errors, the >computer still boots - but all the PCMCIA devices and drivers can not be seen >or accessed any more. > >Does anybody have any experience with Linux and laptops?? > >Cheers > >Shay Tochner >International Systems Support Specialist > >-----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- >http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
