For most of the system, reinstalling from the .debs should work; e.g., with "aptitude reinstall '~i'". You'll need to deal with the parts that dpkg doesn't know about (e.g., much of /etc and /var) by hand. Personally, I suspect it might be easier to just back up your user data and reinstall the whole system. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
