Re: Help repairing a corrupted system

[Carl Fink <carl@finknetwork.com>]

It would almost certainly be easier to just reinstall than to fix your
current installation.  Keep a copy of /etc around so you don't have to
reconfigure everything.  "dpkg --get-selection" and "dpkg --set-selections"
will let your new system have the same packages installed as the old.

And if you were using ext3 or another journaling filesystem, that sort of
corruption really shouldn't happen.

If you attempt to fix something that isn't broken, it will be.
