ok...
i have the rescue cd. i can see the /usr/bin on the rescue cd, and i can
copy it to the new '/usr/bin' on the system where i did the 'rm -rf...'.
my question, is once i do this, how/what do i need to do to get back the
rest of the system... when i compare the '/usr/bin' on a FC3 resuce cd, with
the FC3 '/usr/bin' dir, i see a great deal of difference in the number of
files.
or should i just get the FC2 iso cds and do a reinstall. keep in mind that
i've made a lot of chanegs, new rpms, updates, etc... and i'd rather not
blow those away.
i have an ext3 file system.
I fear that any attempt at undeletion is doomed to failure. On an ext3
file system, metadata is zeroed when a file is deleted, so even if you
find the deleted inodes, the lists of block numbers won't be there any
longer. Yes, I just verified that on an ext3 file system. Successful
undeletion is possible with ext2, but not with ext3.
Sorry.
