[CS-FSLUG] clueless recovery

OK, I started to transfer a *lot* of stuff from another system to /mnt/hd2 
*before* mounting the disk.  Before I actually got a clue about what the 
real problem was (something between keyboard and chair, I think), I 
rebooted system.  Here's the problem.  GUI logon presents all users names, 
instead of just uid > 500.  Only "default" and "failsafe" are presented 
(KDE is gone).  None of these work.  I can use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get console 
access and ssh remote access work.  Using shell access, I deleted the junk, 
and mounted second disk properly.  Attempts at gui login return to login 
screen.  It would seem some "/" partition file corruption has 
occurred.  How do I go about fixing it?
