Yeah, while trying to delete one thing I deleted /usr/bin 
I can't sync or anything, so is there anything short of reinstalling that I can do to get the stuff back? |

Ouch, thats sort of a big one. The easiest way I can think of to rebuild your system is emerge -e world, sorry man. You might need to untar a stage 1 tarball with the -k flag added to preserve old files, just to get portage back. That's why I always keep a backup.

well, my friend is sending me a tar (with the p flag) of his /usr/bin...so maybe i can get that (he has the same hardware as me) then do emerge -e
EDIT: I have untared a stage 3 for athlon-xp and copied over rsync and wget and am currently trying to reemerge some things

That would probably work too.

Got this during the sync:
>>> Updating Portage cache: 100%
* error scanning /etc
* error scanning /usr/kde/3.3/env
* error scanning /usr/kde/3.3/share/config
* error scanning /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown
* error scanning /usr/lib/X11/xkb
Wonder what that is all about |

Are you sure you only deleted /usr/bin?

I would try "patching" with a stage 3 tarball before I resorted to rebuilding the whole system, but thats just me.
