106Hi;=0AI entered the following stupid command:=0Acp -R /* /ad2=0Athinking=
 that would copy the contents of my working HD to my new 1/2 teraflop HD (a=
d2). What it did was manage to wipe out some very important files (thank go=
odness I had up-to-date backups) and it appears to have corrupted gcc...my =
C compiler. I deduce this because when I go to build Zope (as an example) f=
rom source I have to run a script afterwards that repairs the broken C file=
s. (This, strangely, is not the case if I build Zope from port.) So, my que=
stions for you programmers more experienced than I, are:=0A=0A1) Does my as=
sessment make sense? Is gcc corrupt?=0A2) Whether it is or not, how should =
I troubleshoot/fix my problem? It seems to me I should re-install FBSD, but=
 how?=0A=0ATIA,=0ARachel=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A =0A________________________________=
