(probably 90% of whats missing from /bin) from there you can use your example to find any remaining broken pacakges. to do this run: zcat base2_2.tgz | tar -xvf - ./bin in your root filesystem, which you can mount on /mnt (from the boot floppy) like so: mount -t ext2 /dev/hdaX /mnt hdaX being your root partition. note i haven't tried this with busybox tar, im not sure if it supports the selective extraction or not. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
