I screwed up my /etc directory bigtime. I wanted to put it under CVS to maintain a history, but didn't realize that CVS does not honor symbolic links. Of course, I didn't backup before rm -rf /etc; cvs co etc. Doh!
I have another Debian stable box and I tried recreating the rc.? and alternatives directories based on this working box, but when I rebooted, the network interface didn't come up. So I missed something. Is there some clever way I can recreate the /etc dir? (A dpkg-reconfigure trick?) Or can I just copy the symbolic links from the working box over to the non-working box?
