Esteemed colleagues:
I am trying to upgrade to 12.1, because 12.0 does not support the RTL8188E wireless device and 12.1 claims that it does. I have obtained wired Ethernet connectivity for a few hours. When I invoke the
How did I lose world/base and world/doc? More precisely, since I do not care how I lost them, how do I get them back? If I upgrade kernel/generic to 12.1 without upgrading world/base, the header files in /usr/include will be wrong, and I won't be able to compile programs properly, which means, among other things, that I won't be able reliably to rebuild any of my ports. Please don't tell me to create an installation CD or USB drive, because I don't have any here in the place where I have access to wired Ethernet. Thank you in advance for any and all replies. -- jay at m5 dot chicago dot il dot us

Does this look reasonable (y/n)? n
