the real issue [was solved: Re: installing intimate: the networking step]

Uh, replying to myself again. Sorry, fixed the second issue, now
stuck /again/.

OK, so this one is one I really need some help on. I'm not
going to reboot my iPAQ till I get an answer.

I got this:

: Setting up h3600-utils.postinst: line 3: 5341 Segmentation
: fault update-menus
: dpkg: error processing h3600-utils (--configure)
 ...
: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of

: however:

 ...

: umount /proc: device is busy
: umount /proc: device is busy
: Install completed
: Unmounting Intimate drive
: /mnt/intimate: Device or resource busy
: Congratulations, Intimate Linux is now installed.

Uh, given the errors above, should I beleive it? Or should
I take remedial action before I reboot? (i.e. will rebooting
without X leave me a way in? bearing in mind that my
networking goes in the same place where the serial cable
goes.)

This time I'll wait for an answer.
