I am relatively new to Ubuntu although have worked with Unix for many years - and am managing to get around Ubuntu and liking it very much.
While doing some cleanup, I may have deleted some app which is preventing me from booting. When it starts up and the UBUNTU logo appears with the 5 dots underneath, the dots repeatedly change color as if telling me it's doing something, but it never moves beyond that point.
I have the original install disk V10.04 and can boot from that. I do not want to do a full install because it would wipe out all the data. Is there a way to reinstall without cleaning up everything?

What's up?
