Anyone know how to undelete in XWC? I accidentally deleted some

Cheers All,

File manager you use isn't the question, what file system you
use is. Anyhow, undelete is not doable, and/or you won't be too
happy with the results anyhow. If the files you accidently
deleted belong to a package, just use 'rpm -Uvh --force
package.rpm' (same version/patch level as already installed) to
replace the missing files. See 'man rpm' to see just what --force
does. This is just about the only proper use of --force. If it
was your data or config files, restore from the backups you
regularly make ;)
Just an addition. There's a pertinent article to the subject
today at
http://newsforge.com/newsforge/03/10/08/1416248.shtml?tid=23
It's mostly about recovering file systems, but deals with
undeleting also. If you read the whole article, I believe you'll
see why I wrote 'undelete is not doable, and/or '.
