You have probably reinstalled the "bin" distribution too, which resulted in your /etc files being overwritten :-/ You *can* install the source from the CD-ROM disks without using sysinstall too. All it takes is: # rm -fr /usr/src # mount /cdrom # cd /cdrom/src # ./install.sh all That's probably the easiest way of cleaning the entire source tree and getting it reinstalled from the CD-ROM sources.
