Do you still have /var/lib/dpkg/status? If so, you can extract (using dpkg --get-selections or whatever) the list of packages you have installed, and reinstall the lot. 'apt-get --reinstall install <package>' is probably the quickest way to do that. Keep a backup of /etc just in case, but I *think* dpkg should still honour the conffile information in /var/lib/dpkg/status. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
