Hello, I put a box together for a friend to enjoy and tinker with. I gave him some brief instructions, a book, and some typed notes. I later learned that he had been awake for at least 30 hours and probably didn't hear much of the basic instructions like how to shutdown his box.
A call yesterday regarding fsck prompted my question of how did he shutdown! I told him to do 'shutdown -h now' and he gets 'command not found' or something.... So a quick look in /sbin/ shows that indeed, the program is not there! I think he lost some data doing a power off as he was doing. Is there a way that debian can check ALL it's packages and reinstall anything that may have been toasted in this fashion without actually doing a complete re-install? tia -- Jaye Inabnit, ARS ke6sls e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
