Re: Automatix2 won't start in Etch

I'm running a clean install of etch. When i run automatix2 It doesn't

I did run security updates which seems to change the release version
to 4.0r1. I suspect this must be the problem. Any ideas on how to work
around this?

Thanks,
Tom

I got caught by this once. Package not caught up with latest kernel. You can force the install.

I had further issues, but buggered on and fixed em eventually.
