Thanks for the reply.
I'm using RED HAT 7.0.
I'll look in the /bin directory for anything that looks usable.

Without seeing the actual damage, I'd say you're hosed. /usr/bin is
quite necessary, and if you don't have that directory anymore, then the
system is mostly unusable.
What distro are you using?
You might be in luck and find that tools for rebuilding the machine are
in /bin (I'm guessing that /bin is still there, as you can boot into
it), if you're using debian, there must be an option to apt to reinstall
packages that are broken -- anyone know?
Failing that, you'll have to back up your home dir, and reinstall.
