I just called Mike to see if I could help him quickly by phone. It
seems like his home directory has disappeared, and he says a file system
check did not fix things. This is probably outside the scope of my
expertise. Is someone able to help him?

I'm trying to do a little reading about apt-get when I have the time. Every
once and awhile I see a reference to dselect. Sometimes I get the impression
that apt-get has superceded dselect, and sometimes I get the impression that
dselect does things that apt-get doesn't. My question is this:
`dselect` is a TUI front-end to `apt-get`.
Rick Moen recommends using `aptitude` instead of `dselect` but I just
can't get used to the interface. Then again, I don't like `dselect`'s
interface either. Someone really needs to fix the key bindings in both
programs.

Short on details. Did someone tell him that his home directory is almost
certainly safe and sound? He may be freaking out. I know that I would.
Is /home on its own partition?
Do we have output of mount? Maybe it's as simple as a KDE thing. Has he
tried to log in on the console?
Do we have

That's because you're not using it the right way. :-) Try doing whatever

If it is just a matter of getting a file off ASAP, why not boot with
Knoppix as a rescue cd and copy it off?

Well, really the comparison was aptitude to deselect, not aptitude to apt-get.
aptitude really does the work of both -- it can provide a TUI interface

All theses suggestions are great, but is someone willing to give him a
call since it is urgent? Email me offlist, and I will give you his
phone number.

A bunch of these I might need to look at early next week, when I'm in
front of my KDE box and have some spare time. (I'm at work and on XP,
and wish it could do half the stuff KDE could do!)
