It was an rpm and it loaded itself, I installed it from the root, as root 
had the only write authority to install the program.  It actually went into 
the /usr/local directory.  It is still in there, it was not destroyed.  I 
had just logged on to the internet and was only there for maybe 10 minutes, 
and I leave the house at 7am and do not get home until about 11pm , and 
nobody really knows what my time on the net would be.

I borrowed a REALLY good book called Maximum Linux Security.  It covers 
what to do
in the event of an attack and how to attack back.  It sounds like someone 
was
accessing your machine and erasing your hard disk.  But, I agree with John 
G.
NEVER place anything in the / directory and/or download as /root

But, it sounds as though someone may have telneted into your Linux box.
