Hi
Okay, I feel really stupid, but that's beside the
point. I need to be able to recover this machine.
It's running current built from src as of November 7.
I was brilliantly removing my src directory with a rm
-rf * to get a completely fresh tree, when I realized
I was a directory too high, running that command from
/usr.... after immediately stopping it, I noticed the
bin directory gone (and I figure there is some missing
from the dest directory too -- this is all presuming
that rm -rf goes alphabetically)...
what is my best bet here? The system is still up and
running. I presume it is to get some of the install
sets and unpack them -- I would rather *not* like to
do a reinstall. Which install sets do I need
(presuming from the most recent snapshot, following
instructions from 4.10 of FAQ). I figure I need
comp38.tgz
base38.tgz
misc38.tgz
Maybe I don't need all three of these? Anything else
or other gotchas I should look out for? Can I safely
reboot after untarring the above? Then after that I
presume I can safely build from a newly checked out
src again (being more careful)?
much thanks
b
