It was a bit harder to do than I thought it would be, but not
impossible. I went ahead and booted linux-rescue with the boot disk and
recopied everything back to the root directory. Unfortunately, after
that, my X server wouldn't start -- it was crashing when trying to find
a fixed font for some
you don't have to. afaik, most systems will look for old cores and
delete them. but if you want to check, the *easiest* way is to do
"locate core".
btw, if you want to know what a core file, see

Use a boot CD. For me, that means running the Mandrake installation CD
with the rescue option. But that's just me.
You *might* be able to boot with u2's partition as the root partition (I
think you pass "root=/dev/" to the kernel at boot). I can see the
kernel complaining, but it might work.
Things you may want to move to other partitions (in common order): YMMV
/usr/local (My first choice)
/home(If you have lots of users...)
/var (a potential rat hoel with web docs and log files...)
/var/log ( on a busy server, this can amount to lots of used space)
/var/www
