ok.... now I'm really in trouble.
I wanted to install Gnome so I can use StarOffice. So I did a custom
install (RH6.1) and now I've lost the backup I did of her info when I
switched her HP from Windows 98 to Linux. I saved her backup to a
separate folder in /home (on my box) just before I reformatted her
drive.
I guess this also is a good place to ask what mounting points are when
partitioning a drive. I had hdb0 set up to mount at /usr. hda mounts at
/.
Is there any hope for recovering her stuff??? My future lies in your
hands. I am too used to Windows and Mac, I could have made a backup to
another machine but I was thinking that the only things that would be
changed are the kernel an it's associated files. I've lost all my stuff
(in /user/home/mine) but somehow I don't think that will matter when I
tell her what happened to hers.
TIA,
