Hi,
I am using Debian 30r1 both at home and at work. In both cases the
system
was installed from a CDROM copy bought from Lior. At home, because the
computer is not connected directly to the internet and at work because I
am behind a firewall and it took me some time to find out the name of the
proxy server and to configure get-apt. In the meantime I bought the set of
7 CDROMS from a site in the US, installed all that I needed and started
using it.
In the meantime I configured apt at work to fetch the files from some ftp
and http servers and started to learn how to obtain there the
packages that I need for my home computer (apt-get offline method). But
yesterday, without (knowingly) doing anything wrong, bash announced me
(root) that it does not know the command apt-get.
A rapid check showed that all sbin directories have disappeared from my
root path. A rapid fix was to add them manually, and insert this line also
in the .bash_profile of the root. But I would like to find out where the
init process changed, resulting in the mangled path. And why.
Any suggestions.
Maybe it is relevant to mention that the first CD from Lior -though
version 3.0r1 as well- has a different ID and a different content (less
packages) than the corresponding CD from the complete set. I also
bought from him CD-s 2 and 3. These are identical with those from the
complete set.
The same problem occured with my home home computer some time ago. But in
that case I cannot claim my innocence, as I was very tired and I may have
blundered somewhere.
The machine at home is a celeron 600 MHz. The one at work a Pentium 4 1600
MHz.
Thanks, Avraham
