I somehow managed to delete /tmp now I get errors when I try to boot and login

[Darlene Wallach]

I somehow deleted /tmp when I was deleting files from /tmp to make room

Now I get errors when I boot and try to login

- There is a problem with the configuration server.
(/usr/libexec/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)

When I close that, I get:

Install problem!
The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been
installed correctly. Please contact your computer administrator.

One time I saw the login options - when I logged in I only saw a black screen.

Other than doing an install, is there a way to recover the files in /tmp?

argh! It pays to be very careful deleting things as root!

A lesson learned the hard way!

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you
