booting problem

[pkaplan1 at comcast.net]

Try booting to recovery mode and Alt+F1 to a console. 
Login. 
Then try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" (no quotes). 
At this point you could restart and you should be able to login or you can continue with the upgrade... 
$ sudo apt-get update 
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

Subject: booting problem 

I was downloading updates when I lost power and now I can not get 
lucid running on the netbook. It will boot to the user screen but the 
mouse pad nor the mouse works. When I boot using recovery mode it 
gets part way then freezes. My other version of 10.4 netbook works 
fine. Any suggestions? 

Thanks very much
