Belyi;

Your suspicions are probably right.

It is strange that the programs ran ok when downloaded from Debian in Unionfs but can't run after full install. A messed up rc directory would make sense.

It brings up a question. How can a remaster boot correctly if such a thing happens? I may have to change how I add programs...say, get permission to load!!!!!

I feel that apt-get install should take care of the details and it did with Unionfs, putting the program into kdemenu(s).

Since it does install to Kdemenu, the probability is that it also hits other kde elements as well.

The mechanics of performing the removal of /etc/rc.d and subsequent install of the original is a big exercise in dual mounts of 790 MB each.

This problem will erupt every time I load new programs as far as I can tell if it is the /etc/rc.d directory.

It is kdeinit that does not start so its related to the init 5 steps.

I think I need to retry. I can select some other programs in a retry but have to uninstall those I have already in file. Another exercise1

Thanks for your support......
