I am the original querant and I said that *one* time (don't confuse all the
other things I've been doing with this isolated incident I mentioned) I tried a
reinstall telling Mandrake *not* to format my hda2 drive (linux native) but it
did anyway and I lost my /home directory. I replicated this a second time.
