In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG you may cvsup the usr.bin and then issue (I guess) make all install or if you are using RELEASE instead of STABLE version... you may use /stand/sysinstall utility and select `configure` and from there `distributions` there you may install the sources of usr.bin and then issue the command make all install but instead I think you may use the upgrade option in /stand/sysinstall and upgrade to the same version that you are using, though it would not be an upgrade but it would install all the binaries again over old ones so you will have a fresh system. well another solution might be installing the same version FreeBSD to an empty disk and getting the lost files from the new installed disk by ftp and put to the same places with same user.owner ids and mode... I hope these would help you you may reply for additional information... Evren On Sat, 6 Mar 1999, Dennis Ostrovsky wrote: > I did something by accident which was incredibly stupid.
