[SOLVED] Is there any way to copy files when the os boot is broken?

Hello,

I've done a big noob mistype mistake and moved some of the root files / into another directory. (I meant ./ and I typed /)
I know where the files are but I can't get to the terminal since the boot is broken.

switch_root: failed to execute /sbin/init: No such file or directory

Any other way I can copy back those files?

Thanks.

Boot with the install medium, mount the installed system and move the files back to their original locations.
