Just edit /etc/apt/sources.list, get the Ximian list out, and do something like this: COLUMNS=150 dpkg -l | grep ximian | cut -f -3 -d ' ' | xargs apt-get install --reinstall apt-get should grab the most of it for you, find what it doesn't have manually by apt-cache search. :) d -- Daniel Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <coral> purl, valley girl fucking is <reply>like uNF! like uNF! like uNF! -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
