I executed these commands like on your page: rpm -Va --nodeps --nomd5 --noscripts | grep missing > missing_files.list urpmf [filename] It took for hours to reinstall all corrupted packages from the CD's, so I've come up with a script: ------ #!/bin/bash RPM_DIR="/mnt/cdrom2/Mandrake/RPMS" for FILE in ${RPM_DIR}*/*.rpm ; do RPM=`rpm -qp --qf "%{NAME} " ${FILE}` echo -e "Verifying \"${RPM}\" ..." if rpm -V --nodeps --nomd5 ${RPM} | grep "missing " ; then echo -e "\nReinstall \"${RPM}\" ? [Enter/y/n]:" read ANSWER if [ "${ANSWER}" != "n" ]; then RPM=`rpm -q ${RPM}` rpm -Uvh --force ${RPM_DIR}*/${RPM}* echo -e "\n" fi fi done exit 0 --------- This will check all RPMS on the CD's (or in any other folder you specify), and ask to install them. -- Best regards, [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Climate Control Psychedelic Soundscapes - http://go.to/cchq/ * Linux Shell Scripts & RPM Software Packages - http://go.to/conmen/ * Photography Pages - http://home.wanadoo.nl/cchq/photo/photo.html 10:35:31 up 36 min
