The Linux single rw kinda works.
What I HAD to do was to install a new CND sysem on another
  scsi hdd that I luckily had just laying about.  I didn't want to
  overwrite my broken, but usable data system.
I then cp'd the rpms from on hdd / to the other using the
  install floppy.
Then I rpm'd -U --force the rpms.
Now, it complains of basename, can't find /lib/something4
I stupidly cp'd basename from the floppy to /bin earlier 
  in an attempt to fix.
Now, what package is basename in ?
