Hi there: I'm in a world of hurt right now. I lost a disk last night that had the /usr directory mounted on it. After replacing the disk and attempting to ftp the bin distribution, since I couldn't boot the system with no /usr files available. There are some file systems that say they are not BSD file systems and I can't edit them using disklabel since vi core dumps. In fact everything core dumps. Also when I went through the download of the 'bin' distribution, when it attempted to chgrp and chown on the files, it gave me a floating point error, then core dumped on every file. The disk I lost was a SCSI. I replaced it with an EIDE drive, which is not the root system drive. I don't know if that's causing my problem or what. I'm not sure what to do next or how to resolve this. What could be causing the everything to core dump?? Don't send to the list since this account is NOT on the questions mailing list. Thanks for any help anyone can give as I'm in dire straits right now. Mark
