You can try this: it helped me when i accidentally unemerged some basic file tools (cp, ls, env, etc). My system was really fu***, and it looked like i would have to do a reinstall, but this saved my butt:
just unpack the stage 3 tarball somewhere, or if you use the midnight commander, then just enter it, and copy the missing files from it into their respective directories. And if you're not sure which files they are, then just copy everything... After that you might want to do a emerge sync, emerge world, or just re-emerge some packages, to make portage think that they're installed hope this helps On Sun, 25 Jan 2004 18:59:36 +0000 Paul Stear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sun 25 January 2004 16:01, Andrew Gaffney wrote: > > Paul Stear wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > Well I've done it now!!!
