Hello fellow BSD'ers! Happy holidays. I had 4.7-RELEASE on my box and then I accidentally deleted a file as root (I think it was /usr/lib/ld-elf.so.1 or .8) and now the system is not bootable anymore (I believe this affected many binaries such as /sbin/init and my tcsh shell)! Could someone please advise me about booting into this CD-R I have of 4.7-RELEASE and reinstalling (similar to upgrading, for which there is sparse information at www.freebsd.org)?? Do I just select "Label" from /stand/sysinstall (as fdisk information looks fine) and label the root mountpoint "/" then select bin, compat, libraries etc or will this possibly OVERWRITE a directory I currently have (mounted) such as /root/mydocuments/ ?? Thanks to anyone who can clarify this procedure. PS: Please reply CC: to my email address as well as the list. -- Peter Leftwich, President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039, USA http://Www.Video2Video.Com
