Hello,

it turned out that the segfaults that where happening with certain
filesystem commands on my NSLU2 were most likely caused by a faulty USB
flash stick after all. More and more errors started happening, so I
finally couldn't deny that possibility any longer.

Some parts of the filesystem on that stick are still readable, but my slug
won't boot from it any more. I bought a new one and am just finishing a
fresh Debian install. Is there a way to find out what which software
packages were installed on the old stick, by reading certain files? If so,
which files must I look for, and how can I extract that info from them?

Regards, Richard
