Hi all My root filesystem has crashed because of hardware failure. (Although, it was ext3, and i wasn't supposed that may happens... Where's my fault?) But there are still alive usr and, more important, var. I plan to install the minimal system onto new clean root partition, mount old usr and var, and reinstall all packages existed before the crash. I suppose something like apt-cache pkgnames|xargs -n1 apt-get --reinstall install should help? -- Regards, Al Nikolov
