Without ld-elf.so.1 you won't be able to start up any executable that
uses shared libraries... You might find a copy in
/usr/obj/usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf/ld-elf.so.1 if you've ever built
world on that machine, and there's a statically linked version of
cp(1) in /bin.  Otherwise, yes: the live filesystem CD (Disk 2) will
have a copy or you can extract your drive and mount it in another
machine.

Let this be a lesson to you^Wyour friend not to be too hair triggered
on the delete key...

	Cheers,

	Matthew
