cd is a bash-builtin, that's why it works. "echo", "type", "cat", etc also work, I suppose. > I was wanting to run ./* > Now if I ls I get > -su: /bin/ls: No such file or directory I suppose the /bin/ls file still is OK (test by "cd /bin; echo *", you should see ls as one of the many commands listed), but either /lib/ld-linux.so or some other library has gone. That is strange, as just typing "rm /*" should not remove anything but files in / , so I suspect you actually typed something else than "rm /*" > Help much appreciated. Insert debian boot CD, boot, mount your root partition of harddisk, and inspect it. Maybe you only removed a few files from /lib, you might be able to copy them from the boot disk /lib. But I suppose a re-install of Debian would be safer (or wait till someone else has a better idea on this list). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
