But let's just wait for yours commends) Either do a fresh install or boot the installation CD, exit to the shell when prompted if you want to (I)nstall, (U)grade or (S)hell. Mount your partition and change to the mount point and extract the filesets you need (base43.tgz, ...) using tar xvzpf ... HTH, Andreas.
