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...
