Subject: Re: PPR: missing ppr.conf?

Hi David,

I did run fixup, but neither the media.db nor the ppr.conf were generated.  
I have run fixup as root first, then as ppr.  No errors are displayed when 
I run fixup.  I even went as far as doing a touch on /etc/ppr.conf and 
/etc/media.db, then running fixup again wihtout any success.

Francisco
