uh... accidentally uninstalled "sed"

I uninstalled sed. Please don't ask me how.

Well, and when I tried to install it again, I found out that sed requires sed to install. (in the ./configure)

I have Slackware and Slackware packages don't work because installpkg command uses sed also.

What should I do........ ugh.

thanks for any answers.

How did you uninstall sed ??

Simple fix:
extract the sed package in a directory and copy sed binary to /bin, then reinstall sed

Or longer:
Boot into slackware dvd, mount your hd in /mnt/tmp and installpkg --root /mnt/tmp sed-xxx

oh wow... thanks for the reply.

Sad thing is, I technically could've thought of the solution by myself. I guess I was panicking.
