Hi
Okay, I feel really stupid, but that's beside the
point.  I need to be able to recover this machine. 
It's running current built from src as of November 7.

I was brilliantly removing my src directory with a rm
-rf * to get a completely fresh tree, when I realized
I was a directory too high, running that command from
/usr....  after immediately stopping it, I noticed the
bin directory gone (and I figure there is some missing
from the dest directory too -- this is all presuming
that rm -rf goes alphabetically)...

what is my best bet here?  The system is still up and
running.  I presume it is to get some of the install
sets and unpack them -- I would rather *not* like to
do a reinstall.  Which install sets do I need
(presuming from the most recent snapshot, following
instructions from 4.10 of FAQ).  I figure I need 

comp38.tgz
base38.tgz
misc38.tgz

Maybe I don't need all three of these?  Anything else
or other gotchas I should look out for?  Can I safely
reboot after untarring the above?  Then after that I
presume I can safely build from a newly checked out
src again (being more careful)?

much thanks
b
