I don't think so. I'm not sure they are saved anywhere. >Can you answer the other question I asked: is my system likely to need > some attention due to not having allowed scripts to execute in /tmp since > I installed Lenny? I don't *think* so, but I could be wrong. Usually, the DMs and DDs make upgrades fail if anything they are doing *needs* to be done and fails. > If so what do I need to do (apart from reinstalling > from scratch)? I'd have to look through the Debian Policy and Developers Guide to confirm, but I think package's preinst and postinst are supposed to be relatively idempotent. You may be able to re-run those with some argument for all your installed packages. You can find preinst/postinst and other package tracking stuff under /var/lib/dpkg/info. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
