Depends on how good a cook you are (or she is).
Forget searching for files; that's hopeless, as you've described things.
Your only chance is to find an intact filesystem. First, run "df" to see
what partitions you have mounted. Then run "fdisk /dev/hda" and "fdisk
/dev/hdb" (and others, if you have more than 2 hard disks) and, for each, to
a "p" to see what partitions you have that might be unmounted. Be sure to
quit without writing.
If there are unmounted partitions, mount them and see if you get lucky.
