I'm not clear on what you mean by cloned, but assume you mean that you just copied your home directory. > So my plan: unclone (is that a word) anyway, get all the packages > installed from the old box off the new one and if it removed anything > install it back. Again, this is unclear - if you did more than just copy your home dir, like rsync'ing the entire filesystem, then I would, personally, just start a fresh install. > So I basically want it back to how it was just after the install: a > working desktop and command line with the standard apps off the cd. > So how can I do this? If my assumption on copying your home dir is all you did, then as root, just move your home directory out of the way, create a fresh one, log completely out and log back in - you will have to consider whatever proper $USER and $GROUP to use. # mv /home/$USER /home/$USER-backup # cp -a /etc/skel /home/$USER # chown -R $USER:$GROUP /home/$USER If your definition of "clone" is something else, please, be more specific. -- Kind Regards, Michael Shuler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
