Replacing lost drivers?

[Moltke]

Hi [member=5287]paul1149[/member]

the video, audio and network was absent

So, you had no desktop?  Just curious,  Did you have to install these drivers when installing LL the first time and now again? To my understanding, Linux install every device if recongnized by default right away out of the box, am I wrong? Since Linux drivers are open source and provided along with whatever distro one chooses, I thought this kind of things couldn't happen, at least not in a Windows fashion. I think you deleted some important folder(s) containing those drivers. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please. I'm not expert and can't provide a proper answer to your question, but it called my attention because like I said, I didn't think that was possible, unless accidentally one deleted drivers' directory/folder. That's the only thing I can think of for that to happen.
