Help - I've lost my /etc/profile [Solved]

Greetings all.

I've just started using Arch this past week.  I had been using Gentoo on an ancient 650Mhz Celeron laptop, and just recently bought a new Thinkpad to replace it.

After wrestling with Gentoo on the thing (an X startup problem), I've decided to give Arch a try.  And now I'm asking why didn't is do this sooner.

Anyway, things have moved right along, with no problem getting X and fluxbox up and working. 

But tonight, I noticed that I could not run ifconfig.  Discovered that sbin was not in my path, which led to the discovery that my /etc/profile file was missing.

I don;t have any idea what I may have done to remove/delete it, but I'm hoping that someone can point me to a place where I can get a copy of the current version.

TIA,

D

"pacman -S filesystem" should do the trick.
