Help I delete my "/etc" on Jaguar

You're going to have to reformat your drive and install fresh in that case...
Don't know what else to tell you.
Careful what you delete, especially with "root" access. :p
 
O que OS tem agora, o 10.1 ou Jaguar? Acho seja muito mais claro se voce vai explicar melhor what happened?
 
You don't necessarily need to reformat your drive. Just use your original Jaguar installer, use "Archive and Install" to install over the current system, recreate your admin account, and move over files from the archived system.
 
One important point of this occurrence is I was not the root user and the system don't do nothing about that.

I believe that this file is a UNIX alias, perhaps I can reconstruct this.

If some one have a idea. :(
 
"/etc" is a symbolic link, so you don't need to reinstal. But the fix involves typing commands in single user mode. None of the commands are 'dangerous' but you obviously need to be careful.

Start up in single user mode by holding down 'Command' and 's' and wait for the white text on black background to stop. Then type:
Code: 
[color=green]/sbin/fsck -y[/color]
and repeat until it says your disk appears to be OK. Then continue with:
Code: 
[color=green]
/sbin/mount -uw /
/bin/ln -s /private/etc /etc
reboot[/color]
If the only thing you managed to delete was '/etc', this will get you going again.

Oldfogey is right, this has happend to me twice, but not on 10.2.x.

Go into single use and take a look at /private, if "tmp", "etc", "var", "Drivers are all there you are OK.

Just do as oldfogey says for each one at "/" and all will be fine.
