Re: Accidentally moved /libexec/ld-elf.so.1
I appreciate the help thus far; as /rescue/csh in single user mode has moved me past my first hurdle. However, being the blundering newbie I am, I was working in the /tmp directory, which seems to have been cleared (or is empty for whatever reason in the current state.) If it has been wiped, my ld-elf.so.1 file has been wiped with it. What to do?

Re: Accidentally moved /libexec/ld-elf.so.1
Thank you all for the wonderful help. I've recovered the file and the system is fully operational. The solution that worked was: Single User Mode /rescue/sh /rescue/mount / /rescue/mount /tmp /rescue/mv /tmp/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 /libexec As I spent my entire youth on Windows, I can honestly say this is the first time this type scenario didn't end in reformatting.

Accidentally moved /libexec/ld-elf.so.1
Setting up a chroot jail I accidentally moved /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 instead of copying it. Bash would no longer take any commands, though I can't remember the error I was getting (it was aborting.) I rebooted, hoping I could do something in Single User Mode; but to no avail. Is there a way I can undo this blunder?

Is there a way I can undo this blunder? When entering single user mode, you should be prompted with an option to select a shell. You should be able to use /bin/csh.
