Other Help Topics :: swallow.sh command not found?

I upgraded my frugal install on my lil server and everytime it shuts down I now get this error:

/home/dsl/.xinitrc: line 25: swallow.sh: command not found

What is this line & should I just comment it out?

You may want to read past RC and/or release announcements as you may be missing other updates as well.
Files to update are usually the second message in the announcement threads.

For this particular one you can copy /etc/skel.xinitrc to update your current .xinitrc

cp /etc/skel/.xinitrc .

I presume I copy that file from the cd to my current installation directory?

Tyvm for the reply, its actually the first upgrade I've ever done so I am hazarding a decent guess I don't need to update anything else.

Before presuming, perhaps re-read Robert's post. He answered both your question and your hazarded guess.

The command in bold is what needs to be done to update .xinitrc, from within the new DSL system. This command assumes you are currently in /home/dsl. If you happen to have switched to a different directory, it would be cp /etc/skel/.xinitrc /home/dsl/ or cp /etc/skel/.xinitrc /home/dsl/.xinitrc
The files in /home/dsl are automatically copied from /etc/skel at every boot, but are then overwritten by anything you have in your backup.

As he said, any files needed for a successful frugal upgrade other than KNOPPIX and boot files will be listed in the release announcement for each DSL version, in the "Site News" or "Release Candidates" forum. There should be no need to make assumptions.

erg, thx milkshaw... makes note to self not to read & reply to posts @ 3am my time. Makes me look like an ass. Ah well.

Thanks I will heed both posts & look around the site news as well as update the file(s) mentioned.
