eric... not to be down, but just how would i copy anything to the screwed up server, when the ssh/rcp/etc.. apps all appear to have resided in the /usr/bin dir.... i was hopeful that using the recover cd might provide a solution.... but it seems that no one has a solution, other than reinstall... which really screws me up! -bruce -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Lam, Eric Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2005 5:11 PM To: bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: i just did a rm -rf /*r as root!!! If I were you, I would copy (by tar or cpio) the files from another system that has same kernel level.
