LOL perhaps not... I've done it to myself recently! Sometime about 3
months ago. (:-*
Long story, I was clearing some files that had accumulated in /tmp/
# cd /tmp/
# ls -a
.randomCrap .morestuff ....
# rm -r .*
[... Hmmm, this is taking an awful long time...]
After about 30s I panicked and pressed ^C. Bash didn't come back up.
Oops. As I said, good fun.
Should have heard the laughter in the irc rooms as I told ppl (on
another computer) what I had done and asked what my chances were.
Managed to repair it in the end tho. Heh, I showed them(!)
Seriously though, I had a great time fixing the system. (But I did,
mwhahahahaaha.) This is why I like Linux so - I can Fix It (tm).
-- Ben M. ---------------- What are Software Patents for? To protect the small enterprise from bigger companies. What do Software Patents do? In its current form, they protect only companies with big legal departments as they: a.) Patent everything no matter how general b.) Sue everybody. Even if the patent can be argued invalid, small companies can ill-afford the typical $500k cost of a law-suit (not to mention years of harassment). Don't let them take away your right to program whatever you like. Make a stand on Software Patents before its too late. Read about the ongoing battle at http://swpat.ffii.org/ ----------------
