RE: i just did a rm -rf /*r as root!!!

i do indeed have /var...

i'm also downloading the FC2 rescue cd... i was under the impression that
there is some way that you can recreate/install the inode, and capture the
information, to essentially undo the 'rm -rf'. i haven't done anything with
the system, other than look at the information using 'debugfs'....

any ideas/comments from people who've been here before....

thanks...

if /var is still there you could do rpm --verify -a, it should tell you
what files it thinks it has missing and then you can reinstall those
packages
