My Sony C1VFK Picturebook laptop is fairly sick, due I think to a loose connection. I have changed the hard disk, and the problem persists. The effect is that I have had fairly bad file-system corruption (where re-booting obliges one to enter superuser mode and run e2fsck). In any case, what I would like to do is to verify all the rpm packages on the system, and to re-install any that are damaged. Is that possible? If it is, is there any script that would simplify the task? I should say that I am running Fedora 3, with kernel 2.6.11 . I realise verifying all the rpm packages (I assume the list in /var/log/rpmpkgs is complete?) will take some time - I would run it overnight. I'm not quite clear if there is anything one can do if a problem appears apart from "rpm -Uvh --force ...". Any suggestions or advice gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
