hi...

i stupidly just did a 'rm -rf /*r' and i understand that there's no way to
redo/undo this command.. it seems to have blown away my /usr/bin dir..
although, for all i know, i may have screwed up a lot more...

my question, is there someway that i can reinstall the '/usr/bin' dir.. or
am i pretty much f*ed up. i have fedora core 2. (i've asked th question on
the FC2 list, and they leep telling me that i need to do a complete
reinstall) i thought there was a way to more or less recreate the indoe, or
that there was some way that you can recover if you haven't done anything
with the drive since the 'rm -rf'... i've seen some postings/information on
google that kind of discuss this. but i need more understanding...

this is a critical system that i was putting alot of things on.. i haven't
done anything else to the box after my mistake..
