I am guessing then that what he needs to do is to create a rescue floppy. (I have suggested the one at http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/frozen/main/disks-i386/current/images-1. 44/rescue.bin) Then boot from it, and run dselect. In dselect he should go into select and reselect all the fundamental packages that have gone missing, and then install them. Does this sound like the best plan? Thanks, Mark. P.S. cc replies directly to me as I am not currently on debian-user - thanks! _/~~~~~~~~\___/~~~~~~\____________________________________________________ ____/~~\_____/~~\__/~~\__________________________Mark_Phillips____________ ____/~~\_____/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ____/~~\HE___/~~\__/~~\APTAIN_____________________________________________ ____/~~\______/~~~~~~\____________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ "They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them!"
