OS errors/missing commands

Hi all, .... I have major errors on entering the shell. On login I get:

-bash: dircolors: command not found
-bash: tr: command not found
-bash: fgrep: command not found
-bash: grep: command not found
-bash: grep: command not found
-bash: id: command not found
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected
-bash: whoami: command not found
-bash: grep: command not found
-bash: mesg: command not found
-bash: dircolors: command not found
-bash: who: command not found
-bash: cut: command not found
-bash: cut: command not found
-bash: hostname: command not found
-bash: mail: command not found
-bash: date: command not found
-bash: who: command not found
-bash: hostname: command not found
-bash: date: command not found
-bash: who: command not found
-bash: hostname: command not found
-bash: date: command not found
-bash: who: command not found
-bash: cut: command not found
-bash: cut: command not found
-bash: who: command not found
-bash: mail: command not found
-bash: hostname: command not found
-bash: date: command not found
-bash: who: command not found


Using Centos 4.5 on a dual Xeon server with WHM/CP and a few rpm's.

This happened after installing Flash Media Server which has been removed.

Many crucial unix commands are not functioning. Can't even use ping or mkdir, etc.

Any thoughts? Can I avoid an OS restore?
