[expert] /boot erased
I have made a huge mistake here and deleted everything in /boot. It was the result of hitting enter too soon with the wrong syntax of a command. Unfortunately I didn't have a backup of /boot which i regret. I'm trying to avoid reinstalling the system. I have built kernels again uninstalled and reinstalled lilo and bootsplash but nothing works. Is there anyway I can get the basic files/dirs I need in /boot back? -- "If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding! How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat!"
