Remount the affected partition read-only (yet another reason to create multiple system partitions, BTW). This will prevent any further changes to the system. Gnu Midnight Commander (mc or gmc) is alleged to have some data recovery potential. You might want to investigate this. Generally speaking, file deletion is a pretty definitive act under Linux. There are data recovery firms which specialize in retrieving lost data. If the data are sufficiently important to you, you may want to get a quote. Backups are good. Early and often. -- Karsten M.
