That's what I had win4lin for.down the drain with /home that one! Thing is win4lin (and vmware AFAIK) can't use more hardware than the host-system provides..That's where it nagsToo cheap hardware and ditto drivers. I even had my 3d prophet card with kyros II chips working fine on the old install. Now I'm back on fbdev and 2D for the time being:o( My last backup of /home is from 28/07/03 so that's not too bad considering 6 weeks away on holiday/work included. Losing the /usr is what really hurts, especially the modules (and ditto src files) which couldn't have been properly backed up anyway. At least I wouldn't know how if I wanted to. Anyway, for once I'm not blaming Billy: that was the stooopid idiot at the keyboard combined with the sloppy results diskdrake gives. I've yet to see diskdrake create a partition table without errors.but I knew beforehand: I even rerember (obviously my personal maillist archives are gone too) warning Anne to double check on diskdrake Oh well, still smacking my head on my (real wooden) desktop (with the family 'almost' aplauding) so I'll start giving autopsy a serious try tomorrow when the headache's gone and I'm not pining for a quick result. I'll tread very, very wary with what's left of /dev/hdd from here. This isn't hacking anymore, this is vivisection. If it weren't for the loss (time heals all wounds:o)) this could be a fun or at the least a learning experience. Good luck, HarM Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

You can run Turbo Tax in a browser connection - I went this route last year. Other years, I tend to just visit the irs ftp sites, download the tax forms and roll my own, as my tax needs are rather simple. Harv/ AI9NL Washburn, Wisconsin at least it isn't snowing :) David E.
