Well, the way to fix this would be something like Code:
1. boot of install CD aaa I'll have to re-think that approach. :} Cheers, Tink |
damn. very well friend thanks for help but it does not work.
i alsways get a: cannot excecute /bin/sh : no such file or directory. why the hell did this happen? anyone to save me? |
Easy mate, not all hope is lost :}
After all this is linux, and where there's a will, there's always a shrub... Repeat steps 1.) from above... then mkdir /tmp/hd mkdir /tmp/cdrom mount -t <your / fs> /dev/<yourhdd> /tmp/hd Also mount the CD-ROM to /tmp/cdrom Does plain tar work at this stage? If it does, do tar -xvzf /mnt/cdrom/slackware/a/aaa*tgz -C /tmp Then you should be able to just cp /tmp/bin/* /tmp/hd/bin and so on for the other directories it created... Cheers, Tink |
yea things i thought of too but i will delete all other directories, wont i?
does it work with cp? isnt it just overwriting? bit confused by now. |
Everything you *would* be overwriting was apparently deleted.
|
uhm... you mean everything was deleted? like scripts and configurations and so on? is it better to install everything new?
will everything work when i do those copy commands? |
no when you installpkg it wont overright newer files ... if you changed the config the timestamp on the file will be later, and it wont overwrite it.
what happened when you mounted the cdrom and chrooted yourself and then installpkg the aaa package ... the aaa package is actually a very small part of slack just seems big cause some important stuff is in it so slack runs really ugly when its missing. If worse comes to worse and you cant figure out how to make it work. Try doing a new setup but dont format your drives, mount the partitions back the way they use to be, and only install the aaa package. This will bypass anything your missing but wont overwrite everything in the process. |

things in a few directories, and then it runs a little script that you'll have to execute manually as well. No need to re-install... Cheers, Tink |
