I did something rather silly this morning in my tired state of mind..

mv * to some random directory..

I was of course trying to move the contents of a mounted floppy but
sadly I was sitting in / at the time.. 

so things look like this at the moment..
bash: cd: /root: No such file or directory

tab complete shows me the following..
root at allmine:/# /home/misskim/oldfloppy/
bin         cdrom       etc         man         none        sbin        usr         
boot        dev         lib         microdrive  opt         share       var         
cdaudio     dvd         lost+found  mnt         root        tmp   

but I seem unable to move anything ...

aka
root at allmine:/# /home/misskim/oldfloppy/bin/mv /home/misskim/oldfloppy/tmp/ /tmp
bash: /home/misskim/oldfloppy/bin/mv: No such file or directory

Given I am in dear old Kalg.. I have no idea "if" there is a shop around that
actually has any Linux distro's, and my last copy of knoppix was left in Perth
I am not sure how to proceed..

I am also guessing that when this dialup session dies, and am probably not going
to be able to get back on line.. :(

Any ideas folks, whilst I still have connectivity and a root prompt :)
