If you did `mv /lib /templib`, i.e., these directory files, you are
in a world of hurt. You will have to boot and mount a different file-
system as your root file system (your distribution CDROM / RAM-Disk /
rescue disk combination), mount the file-system you modified, then
modify it back. Like:
/sbin/mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
cd /mnt
mv templib lib
cd /
/sbin/umount /mnt
If you only modified a library file within the /lib directories, you
can do this to repair:
If you use lilo, after "LILO", hit the [Alt] key, type:
linux init=/bin/bash
The machine should boot up to the shell prompt.
Execute:
/sbin/mount -n -o remount /
Then perform your rename operation.
Then execute:
/bin/sync
/sbin/umount /
/sbin/e2fsck -f /
After that is done, wait a few seconds and hit [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[Del] to
reboot.
