Operating Systems Solaris Renamed lib directory by mistake

Thank you Neo, I do certainly want to do things the correct way, so I will research your recommendations.

/lib is definately a symlink. I figured that out logically because when I looked at it (using File Mgr), the icon for it had changed to a broken chain link, and when I clicked it it would say something about it being broken. It's no longer a 'broken chain link' since I created the new symlink.

Thank you all.

That makes no sense. You said you removed /lib.

That means it is gone.

Subsequently, any broken symlink /lib was created by you.

It identifies the Solaris update: October 2001.

Note that you wouldn't have required the same Solaris update or even release to boot, mount and fix your directory mistake. Any newer Solaris media should have worked assuming your hardware is supported.
