Restoring my 8.2 system

Hi: I have some problems compiling software, after installing gcc 3.3.1. Other updates may have happened through YOU. What I would like to do, is restore my system to the way it was before. Since I don't know what other dependencies may have changed, I was wondering if reinstalling from CD's, as an update, would do the trick. Any ideas? Doing a fresh install erasing everything would be a last resort, to be avoided if at all possible. Thank you. -- Alfredo J. Cole http://www.acyc.com http://www.clshonduras.com
