Accidentally deleted /home/zaurus folder
 Now can't start GUI - init eight times tried to start QT unsuccesfully and then prints: "INIT: ld "ln" respawing too fast: disabled for 5 mintues." I'm still able to login as root in console mode. Is there a way to fix the issue??? suruaZ |

Whoops. Been there, done that on my PC (I now have cron jobs setup to do automatic backups).
You'll have to restore the original files in /home/zaurus. I doubt you can use 'recover' since the filesystem is in RAM on your 5500. To restore the original files: 1) Login to the console as root 2) cd / 3) tar xvf /root/.home_default.tar home/zaurus (Note there is no '/' at the beginning of the 'home/zaurus' in the command above) |
