[SunHELP] Re: Installing LS command

[souleymane kante]

the problem  of installing new fresh complete solrais software is that I
don't have the source of some some software running on my Box actually. So
the best way fo me is to just re-install the LS command if possible. But I
don't know how to do it from the solaris CDROM. Could someone help me?
regards,
Souleymane
