From: levin@world.std.com (Levin F Magruder) Subject: Oops, I wiped /usr/bin; How do I get back sysinstall? (SLS) Date: Sat, 3 Apr 1993 15:48:21 GMT
My first real bonehead move in linux... rm -f * in /usr/bin.
Normally I don't even login as root, and of course I was when
I did that. Fortunately, I had just made a tmp directory
and reinstalled the bin.tpz, which has the real crucial stuff.
A lot of the extras I was planning on updating/replacing, anyway.
Main thing I want back: the SLS "sysinstall" program. Where
is this, and how can I get it without installing over
possibly newer things? (I still have a1 and a2 disks).
(Of course I don't have anything backed up. Any pointers on
backing up to floppies, will anything like afio work?)
By the way, the reason I had redone the bin.tpz install in
the first place was I was looking for cron. This did not
show up in /install/installed, it also wasn't in bin.tpz.
Where should it be, on the SLS disks?
thanks, levin
