Re: Help! Accidentally started deleting /usr

[omicron <omicron@omicron.dyndns.org>]

hi
	one trick is
touch -- -i
	in all the key directories, beginning wtih /. then
rm -fr / makes it look as though it is rm -rf -i , which makes it
interactive again. or else
touch .NODEL /usr/
chattr +i /usr/.NODEL

	hope this helps
regards
omicron
