I tried Live Update yesterday (a utility via Drake Conf) and it screwed up X so much that it doesn't even start up. Therefore, I only have command line access. The utility was supposed to back-up my old system's "state", but even that doesn't work (X has a broken pipe or something). I was running Mandrake 7.2 (with KDE 2.1.1 and the latest XFree86). Any ideas on how to get my *working* system back again? Since it's via the command line, I'd appreciate the exact syntax needed since I don't use the CL as much as I should.
