Sorry if I don't understand you. If you can make a back up in another computer your can have resolved this problem. Let's see: you can make a pakages backup. Put selected pakages in one directory, as "seguridad" then make (in this directory): find . -print | cpio -ocv > /dev/fd0 This backup pakages to floppy. To recover the back up make, in your current directory: cpio -icvd < /dev/fd0 and.....yahoo...here is the pakages in your current directory.Now you can install them. > Thanks, Sorry...this is spanish: Gracias, de que? ...tambien soy español hombre...y ademas estudie en la politecnica...mira tu por donde.
