I had been trying to do updates, and had been having no luck ever since installing 11.10 several months ago. I put up with the various bugs I'd been experiencing, but it was getting pretty bad, so...
I tried one more time this morning with:
'apt-get update clean'
followed by some other commands from a posting I had found on this site. Can't remember exactly, but the above waws followed by "apt-get update" and "apt-get install update".
Then the system froze up. No luck rebooting.
I then pulled out my original Ubuntu 11.10 image, and started to reinstall (save old files option). Upgrade (from 11.10 to 11.10) went about halfway through, and then crashed (twice).
Should I download another image file (more recent), and try again? Any other suggestions?
Can I repair the boot partition somehow? I did partition it separately.
BTW, this is being typed on my Windows computer
