I've just installed a 2.2.2-RELEASE system via FTP. (My compliments to the folks who set that up; once I took care of some problems in partitioning, every- thing was *very* nice!) Unfortunately, I then had to restore files from the machine's previous incarnation as a 2.1.0 system. Thanks to a missed keystroke, I accidentally restored /usr/bin from the 2.1.0 backups. Needless to say, lots of stuff didn't work. I've moved over the old libc.so files from the 2.1.0 system, so I have basic functionality. What I'd like to do is (via FTP) reinstall *only* the /usr/bin directory. Any hints? I went through the Handbook and didn't see anything helpful, and a Web search of list ar- chives came up dry as well. --Wes
