After fixing this manually, rxvt would start normally, except - I suddenly had a US keyboard layout! (On a German keyboard.) So I ran setup again, marked all x11 packages (except fonts) to reinstall, unfortunately I accidently hit something (intended for some other window) into setup.exe while it was installing, it aborted and X didn't run anymore. Running setup again, it crashes. By try-and-error, I could reinstall everything except x11-xorg-etc on which setup always crashes now. Well, after most reinstalls got through, X does run again, but still with that misconfigured keyboard layout. Another weird problem is that /bin/sh does not work anymore (does not seem to be run at all, no feedback) and as a consequence, most shell scripts don't run either. I've just copied bash.exe to sh.exe now for a fix. Why did this update turn out to be such a catastrophe? What can I do to get a proper keyboard layout? Why was /bin/sh disabled (has not been updated, version of Dec 2005)?
