Well, I guess I'm just stuck and will have to give up (for now).
It's too long a story to try to explain why I can't update or
make any changes on this system that might risk messing it up.
It's Mandriva 2006:
Linux localhost 2.6.12-12mdk #1 Tue Sep 13 CEST 2005 i686 AMD Athlon(TM)
XP 2600+ unknown GNU/Linux
Thanks anyway for all your efforts to help.
