[QUOTE="blixa, post: 826120, member: 94489"] thanks everybody for your kind help. to answer your questions: - i can not delete files (rm command not found) - the only core utility i deleted was indeed rm i will try vansmith's option (what do i have to lose?), but i'm not sure i know someone with a system like mine. i know three persons with leopard, but all of them have 32bit systems (i have a 2.4 white macbook, which is 64). wouldn't that make a difference? is there somewhere else from where i can be sure the file would be the right one? does any of you guys have a similar system to mine and would be so kind as to send it to me? i thought it would be much simpler and that there would be something like debian's apt for os x. :\ (ok, perhaps that's what fink or macports are, i will look into it) thank you all once again.
