Were this to happen to me I would probably go to another box and download a trial of VmWare. I would then install FC4 and apply maintenance and install of the software that I had installed. I would then copy /usr/lib over to the broken box.
Next I would probably realize that not everything was there and what was there was not exactly what was there to start with. I would then decide whether or not I wanted to spend the next few months dinking with it or if it was time to backup all of my personal data, format and start over... I would probably then start over...

Hi everyone, I made a really daft mistake and deleted a lot of files in /usr/lib. Im not sure how many I have deleted. I was trying to delete a linux rootfs on an SD and thought I was in /media/usbdisk/usr/lib, clearly I wasnt. You would think I should know better this is at least the third time I have done something like this. My laptop is still up and running, can anyone give me any ideas on a way to fix all my broken libraries? Can yum do it? Please help me! Best regards, Alastair
