Nevertheless, the problem was, that after a diskcrash my /var directory was gone. I was asking how to reinstall the system without doing a full reinstall. I have solved it by 1.) making a backup of the /etc directory 2.) installing the base system via the rescue floppies 3.) got a list of installed packages from /usr/doc/* directories. 4.) set the list with dpkg --set-selections 5.) and finally reinstalled everything. Now I´m in the state of fixinig a few problems left over, but the system is up und stable again. Dirk -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
