Verification/install
Hello,
I put a box together for a friend to enjoy and tinker with. I gave him
some brief instructions, a book, and some typed notes. I later learned
that he had been awake for at least 30 hours and probably didn't hear
much of the basic instructions like how to shutdown his box.
A call yesterday regarding fsck prompted my question of how did he shutdown!
I told him to do 'shutdown -h now' and he gets 'command not found' or
something.... So a quick look in /sbin/ shows that indeed, the program is
not there!
I think he lost some data doing a power off as he was doing.
Is there a way that debian can check ALL it's packages and reinstall anything
that may have been toasted in this fashion without actually doing a complete
re-install?
