Re: Files in /etc missing after new install


>From a bash prompt
/etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh.done
/etc/postinstall/base-files-profile.sh.done

should create them, if the files don't exist with a .done
extension then postinstall wasn't called.  If they don't
exist then you didn't install the base-files package.
