    Hi !
    I've tried to chroot an user, so i create /home/this_user/usr and the
    other needed directories, but later, I wanted to delete them (as root of
    course) and i typed rm -r /usr instead of rm -r usr ...
    It asked me if i wanted to overwrite su, so i saw my mistake, and
    cancelled, but i don't have adduser, man, ee and ... make anymore !
    How can I repair that ? can i do something without reinstalling
    everything ? (I need at least make... and I'm quite reluctant at
    compiling /usr/src/usr.bin/make ... So i hope there is another way)

    Thanks a lot ...
