If it is just /usr then you can probably get away with just putting in your Mandrake disc and pushing Upgrade and it should replace all the binaries. I did this when I got hacked to bring the system back up without deleting the hdd. Since all files come from RPM's this is a workable, if cheating, fix. Of course if you've compiled a lot of software you may hafta do it again. Try using ReiserFS. It won't die if your machine goes down. *^*^*^* Have the courage to take your own thoughts seriously, for they will shape you. -- Albert Einstein On Mon, 16 Oct 2000, Russell "Elik" Rademacher wrote: > Now I got a problem here, and I am wondering if anyone have experienced > something anything remote to this.
