help !! corrupt file system

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I had mentioned while at the last installfest, I also lost my bin 
directory. I had been running SuSE 7.1 with a low 2.4 kernel (I think 2.4.2 
or something). My problem was caused by a bad power supply shutting down 
the drive. I found most everything in lost+found, but it was easier to 
upgrade to SuSE 7.3.
