Since you used only a "rm *" you should feel lucky after all.
Get from someone who owns a 4.1.5 version a tar file containing all files
from the "/etc/" directory - NOT the sub directories - and restore the file.
After that reconfigure "/etc/hosts, /etc/qconfig, etc/exports" and all
other config files in /etc
