I logged in as "root", while I was at "/usr" (by accident), I did:
#find . -name "*o" -print -exec rm {}\;
My intention was to remove all object files, another mistake "*.o",
instead of "*o" (another mistake).
Now I cannot do much, since ld.so was deleted (cannot tar, cpio.....).
I tried to reload the OS from the floppy, because the drive already
configured, it never asked for the "cpio" floppy. Without cpio floppy
loaded, I cannot load thing back from the tape....
Anyway out?????????????
