You don't have to install the entire OS to another machine if you have a medium to large area on your disk. Mount up the #1 CDROM and then create a scratch directory somewhere on your system. Go to the distribution that you think contains the files you are missing (sounds like "base" to me) and cat() the install.sh script. You'll see that you can execute the script and send it a "DESTINATION" argument on the command line. That script will extract that particular distribution to what ever directory you include on the command line.
