edit: well,I am trying (my debconf settings is "medium") as root

Code:

dpkg-reconfigure --all

EDIT:
OK all problems solved

I did a:

Code:

apt-get install --reinstall login libpam-runtime

to solve the /bin/su not having suid bit set .
So,Happy times!
Hope this benefits others too

few more problems.

I have to modprobe pppoe,ppp_* modules manually each time to connect.wth?

I tried all reconfiguring stuffs including for kernel.

Now,Thinking of selecting all packages for a re-install(/var/.../archives/ contains most packages).Is there any single command to do this? apt-get install --reinstall "what" ?

I have some news

all problems disappeared.the gnome-system-monitor crash is fixed with latest
libpcre3 libpcrecpp0 libc6 libc6-dev libc6-i686 packages.

Now it is Solved.Thanks to All,also may be it is helpful for others who are into Swapping distro from One harddisk to another.

Debian Rocks!
