Hey folks, I got FreeBSD up on my libretto and was creating symlinks for my pilot in /dev and fatfingered creating a symlink for /dev/ttyd1 in the root and rm'd it. No big deal. Also in the root was a symlink for compat and sys and I wasn't sure so I moved them to /tmp ... Well it moved the actual dirs as I didn't throw any switches on mv... Nope. Now all sorts of crap is broke and mv'ing the dirs back or even recreating the symlinks didn't work. systat and vmstat and anything that references related libraries seems to be broken. What are my options here? Most of my critical stuff like /etc and my custom kernel for the 'lil libretto are checked into RCS so it's not a big deal. Should I restore root from RELEASE media? Time to learn "make world"? It was *ONLY* a 4.0 build... :) How do I get just my root back? I have /var /tmp /home /usr on their own fs's... Anyone help a new BSD'er? Thanks in advance for any suggestions... -Will ===== http://profiles.yahoo.com/will_v_stevenson __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
