If you're interested in geting a file back, do "dpkg -S $file" (in your case "dpkg -S /etc/issue") and it'll show you the package that installed the file. You can try a "dpkg-reconfigure $package" to see if reconfiguring the package will reinstall the affected file. If it doesn't work, you can download the affected package and reinstall it like this: apt-get -d $package cd /var/cache/apt/archives dpkg -i $package Then again, with something as simple as /etc/issue you could look at the man page and create your own one. Here's mine if you don't want to go through all that effort :) ------ Debian GNU/\s 2.2 \n \l ------ Cheers, Sean -- Sean Quinlan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I'm using Debian GNU/Linux Woody 3.0 Linux plato 2.4.16 #1 Sat Dec 8 22:01:29 GMT 2001 i686 unknown
