Yep, rescue disk time. At least that's a functional instance of Linux... scaled back though it may be.
I've never used RH, I've been with SuSE since I got started with Linux. But, the rescue disk should give you the tools to hook yourself back up.

At least on RH systems, /bin/mv won't work if /lib is missing as it's dynamicly linked to various things in /lib i.e. ldd /bin/mv linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libacl.so.1 => /lib/libacl.so.1 (0x49712000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x41a2f000) libattr.so.1 => /lib/libattr.so.1 (0x41b6a000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x41a17000) -- I don't know if other distributions are as agressively dynamic linked as RH systems appear to be, but I suspect this is common. It's rescue CD time. The only thing I can think of that would make the system work with out a rescue disk would be to some how append the current path to the 'moved' library files to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig, so the dynamic linker can find the libraries again, but /bin/cat is dynamicly linked as well so appending anything may be itself a challenge and I have a vague idea that the ld.so.conf path searching is actually done by /lib/ld-linux.so anyway... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:14:3847 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/14 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:14 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.14 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
