Squeeze unstable/testing
Kernel is latest as of Oct10, 2010
Because of slow performance and crashes, removed many Squeeze pkgs in an effort
to revert to Lenny. Original encrypted install of Lenny later updated with
unstable and testing pkgsof Squeeze and Sid. I am able to login to mount
encrypted partitions and get to command line but can't get to display login.
Lost GDM and XDM. On reboot lost the ability to access sources.list with
either aptitude or apt from terminal, thus unable to d/l and install needed
pkgs. Have tried Nano and Pico to edit sources.list but ng. Gedit is not
installed. Have tried dozens of commands but no access to packages..apt-cdrom
won't scan CD's.
Any way of salvaging hd contents?
note: 20 months w/deb distros but skill level at ~25%.
Hi,
can you mount debian (mepis or any other) live cd and copy your data to
another hdd?
Does dpkg works? If yes you can the same way put some essential packages
(apt, nano...) in broken debian.
