Subject:   Updating to 4.7 after breaking system

I wanted to update to 4.7-STABLE, so I ran make buildworld.  After
realizing that I was not in fact building 4.7, the built stopped and
I removed /usr/obj.  Except while in /usr/obj I ran `rm -rf /etc`
instead of 'rm -rf etc'.  This ran for less than a second before I stopped
it though.  However, after this, /usr/bin is gone.  So, I'm thinking I
should get the 4.7 ISO and re-install from a CD.  Will this save most of
my system (specifically the installed ports and /home directories)?  Are
there any better ideas?

Thanks, and yes, I know, I'm really dumb.

Adam
