Hello all, I'm a relatively new user who has been learning Linux and Debian by experimenting with a test machine I've set up. Like many newbies, I've gone in over my head--installing backports, trying my hand at compiling my own kernel, etc.
I've now hosed things a bit in a couple of places, and I'd like to start afresh with a perfectly clean woody installation--wiping out all of my config files, reinstalling all packages from stable debs. Is there a good way to do this, short of reinstalling from scratch? In short, what I want to do is "apt-get make-debian-look-the-way-it-did-right-after-I-finished-installing" or something similar. Is such a magic bullet possible, or should I just go ahead and reinstall? (This is a test machine, so there's nothing too critical on it--just a few 10s of gigs of MP3 files I'd have to reload.) Thanks, Charles. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
