Thread: Fastest Install Break You Have Made


post fastest install break/major mistake have ever made. example, decided reinstall ubuntu 11.10 today, , idiot clicked out of terminal box in middle of apt-get. said couldn't take control of dpkg, brilliant (without thinking or research) went gut...
sudo rm -r /var/lib/dpkg ....

oops, forgot /lock part. guess might resort reinstalling ubuntu if doesn't work after apt-get update.

post yours.

don't know if counts, anyway:

once broke system @ install time. yeah, decided specify partitions , mount points without letting ubuntu me.

result: no bootloader , no swap partition. thought myself: "alright, maybe can fix livecd session", somehow managed break system more! after reboots , few kernel panics, gave , formatted disk again scratch.

regards.
