Now, I think I've seen the kind of error you were talking about. One solution to this is to actually mount the drive by hand. Try the following: Open a virtual terminal (see above), then run the following: # cd / # mkdir mnt2 # mount -t vfat /dev/hdc2 /mnt2 (maybe use -t msdos) # ls /mnt2 (you should see base2_0.tgz in here) Switch back to the curses screen (?) Now try specifying the base location as an "allready mounted partition", /mnt2/. Let me know how that goes.

If not you can make them executable again using chmod. An example: chmod a+x /usr/bin/less If that does not work you can check if all libraries still exist. You can check that using ldd. Another example: [pc135a;~]-6> ldd /usr/bin/less /lib/nfslock.so.0 => /lib/nfslock.so.0 (0x4000d000) libncurses.so.3.4 => /lib/libncurses.so.3.4 (0x40012000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40057000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4000) (The specific output can differ). If one or more libraries are missing you will have to reinstall those (and optionally run ldconfig). Wichert. -- == This combination of bytes forms a message written to you by Wichert Akkerman.
