Boot problem

[Juan Carlos Reyes]

Hi Tod,
Bad news hunting

Mi computer is a clone ADM Athlon 1000 with 512 RAM. I installed Ubuntu 5.1.
First I updated the Applications -Music & Movies- following instructions of
help.ubuntu.com <http://hel.ubuntu.com> -index you send me by mail-. Then I
try ed to install Java, but I'm not sure if it was successful. Then, I
updated almost seventy something new updates, that Ubuntu asked me if I
wanted to install, I never realized what were those, I just tough that it
was good to update them if it was proposed.

I wasn't very patient so I restarted again. Sorry, after some days working
perfectly a new boot problem apeared. I had reinstalled all those, but also
amule & lyx.

Now, it surpass the last blockage but stops here:

...fail! system log daemon... d: command not found not found
*Starting kernel log daemon
/etc/rc2.d/sllklog d: line 60: mkfifo: command not found
... done

I have tryed  CONTROL+C but nothing new.

Thank you for youre help!
