Actually, if you just restart the command that was running when the connection dropped, you should be fine. i.e., if you had done 'make build' and then it died, just do a 'make build' again. If you want to be really lazy, do an ls -l /bin, see what date the files are. If they are after you started the build, you may be able to just do a "make install". -stable has the advantage that old binaries and new binaries are "compatible". Now, if the power had gone out mid-way through, you might have some nasty messed up files, but if you just lost console, things should be more-or-less intact. Nick.
