Well, I got SLS 1.01, and I have since gone from .99pl9-6 all the way to
.99pl12 without obtaining all of the support files. Like I said, if I use
shutdown now and go single user and type umount -a, it works. If I just use
shutdown -r now it doesnt unmount root.
Does anyone know where I can get the source to shutdown?
