Re: deleted root directory - fixed, actually a lib problem

[Thomas Halahan <tom@halahan.com>]

Adam & Karsten,

thanks very much for your postings.  i am a fool for not backing up 
better - i suppose i was waiting to buy a CD writer but didn't want 
to spend.  

anyway hints from your emails gave me enough to go on.  i ran fsck to 
repair.  you also mentioned libraries which i looked into, and sure 
enough the contents to lib had been moved!

so i'm sorry to say i was obviously wrong - i had not deleted the 
root (i don't think anyway) but somehow the essential system 
libraries had been moved and hence 'ls' and other command did not 
work.

i would not have been able to do this without your promt help.  thank 
you very much. 

regards tom
