Hi,

I lost the contents of /var and was wondering how to get em back
without reinstalling. My current version is 2.1.5-RELEASE. I would
also like to upgrade the system, is there anyway to do this via
ftp? Can I fixit via ftp? Is there a place i can just copy the files
over?

Any help would be appreciated. My initial install was done through
CD-ROM but the CD-ROM is now damaged and the fixit from CD-ROM is
there but not implemented yet.

Thanks,

Tom
