I think you need to specify full path to ln then: /usr/lib/ld-2.16.so /bin/ln -s /usr/lib /lib or use busybox: busybox ln -s /usr/lib /lib However this does not help if it comes to your mind after you closed the root terminal. ;) -- main(a,b){char*/* Schoene Gruesse */c="B?IJj;M" "EHCX:;";for(a/* Chris get my mail address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* gcc -o sig sig.c && ./sig */b/42*2-3)*42);}
