What possessed you to execute that command? Don't worry, I'm not here to mock you- when I fiurst started with Linux, the first ever command I executed on my test-install was that; just to see how dangerous it really was. Because it was my test-install it didn't matter- no important data loss. You mention in your email that you have backups, so rather than mess around trying to recover the disk, simply wipe it clean, install Slackware again and then when you have your system up and running import/copy over the files that you require from your backup. In most cases that should be a handful of files from the /etc directory that you *may* have edited, and your /home directory. Good Luck, and don't go executing naughty commands like that again! :-) G -- Gavin Laking 12:25pm up 1 day, 18:58, 5 users, load average: 0.17, 0.22, 0.10 http://www.gavinlaking.co.uk/ -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
