Help!
I'm struggling with this one, trying to understand WHY it broke:
OK, so I did several updates, and this resulted in several files in
/etc/ that needed to be verified/updated (._cfg0000_XXXX files). So, I
took a look and decided I wanted to keep my old files rather than merge
the new ones ... and I deleted the ._cfg0000_* files. Now my machine
won't boot. It complains that there are missing links to several files
in /etc (which all coincidentally were files that had a corresponding
._cfg0000_XXXXX file that I deleted).
What was stupid about what I did? How might I recover/regenerate that
which is missing to avoid doing a complete reinstall? I suppose I could
boot from the cd & chroot into my install and re-emerge those packages,
if it came down to it. Is that what is necessary?
Thanks in advance,
Brandon Young
