Here's a fun answer : Step 1) Use rescue disk, and mount /usr drive. copy the rescue disk /usr/bin to your /usr/bin. reboot. This should give you a rudimentary /usr/bin which (I think) gives you at least an ssh client and rsync. I could be wrong though. grab a second machine, install your version of centos on it. put it on the network. then do rsync -avz newmachineip:/usr/bin/ /usr/bin If rsync isn't there but ssh is, then do an sftp. Not sure if that will work, but it would be a fun way to spend the afternoon :-).

What is the best approach to restoring it? I hope you have a backup.... Mmm, if it's *only* /usr/bin, and you have another machine, why not just copy the directory and contents over from the other machine? I just checked, btw, and on RHEL 4, there's /bin/tar, so that works. mark -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
