Hello,
I lost count of the number of times my blind experimentation (along with sheer stupidity (like the time I uninstalled the package installer DOH!). Do not be afraid of this. However, the best advice I ever got on this list was to mount your /home directory on a seperate partition. When (If!) you need to reinstall, only install the /root on the root partition, thus saving all your personal files.
This isn't as technical as it sounds, but I would defer to someone better schooled in these matters to step you through it.

PS: you might want to leave the "reply to address" blanc on your mail client (Kmail, etc). It makes it easier for people to simple "reply" to you.
Thanks
Yes - it's abit of a learning curve. Fortunately, if I do have to reinstall it's not important data lost, mostly list stuff, ad had not had Mandrake up for long. But point taken. When I get going again, some housekeeping will be in order. It's funny really - most men I have known have not been into housekeeping ... :-)
