This is where a copy of the Live CD would really come in handy...you could boot off that, mount your hard drive, and copy over the missing file and be back in business. I looked about the net for a copy of it for you and was unable to find 4.7, although it's a slim chance that 4.8 might work for you, the worst thing that can happen is that it doesn't work. Here's the link if you want to give it a go: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.8/4.8-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso Josh Paetzel _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
