After successfully completing the make install process, I started the setup script, ./setup, instead of ./setup -net by mistake . I stopped the process and started again using the /setup -net script. I inadvertently started the deinstall process and had to start again. This time I realized that I had lost the setup scripts and apparently some other important config files as well. I thought that I could make things whole again by running another make install but nothing happended. Am I wrong in this assumption? Is there a step I missed in trying to run make install? Thanks, Bob
