Thanks everyone got that! Now let me see,
cd /
rm -rf *
find new job :-)
Actually had a friend that on his first day in tech support, did do a
deltree in the root directory of the bosses computer! Fortunately they did
have data backups. I think he did it at about 2pm and went home about 3am
and was back at work looking like nothing had happened at 8am the next day.
Since this was a fresh install of everything, the system actually ran
better, no fragmented files etc. The boss, unaware of the process, thanked
him for 'tuning up' his system.
