Please be more precise in your description of the problem. For example, what are you trying to do and what is going wrong? What distribution are you using? > I've attempted to restore it but obviously I'm not getting it right. > The system is 100% functional if you don't mind I can't compile > anything from source...LOL What did you do to restore "it"?
