slackware 14.2 repair installation
by lattimro from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5MBDS)
Hi everyone,
5.10.17
is there a way to fix a bad installation? I probably removed some packages or I did not installed properly or both and I have a next to nothing system, no ping/dhclient/slackpkg/wget/curl and so on. There are lots of packages in /var/log/packages mostly for X (X broken obviously)
installpkg and pkgtool works btw.
Tried upgradepkg --reinstall
no output
can not raise up network
I can fix it with a live but I am wondering if this can be repaired as is. Thanks a lot!
