RE: / files accidentally deleted

Kim:

Most are in other directories, not the root (/). Maybe you don't
have the prefixes set to find them. If you still have /usr/local/sbin
/usr/local/bin /sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin and /bin, you probably haven't
deleted the bulk of the utilities.

The ls command is found in /bin. Can you type /bin/ls and have it
work?

The other possibility is that you've somehow had some utilities get
their execute permission removed. They won't process if they don't have
execute priviledges.
