So I be totally hosed, apparently. I'm trying to delete as much as possible out of /home, and crossing my fingers that one of the backups to a spare HD will at least finish, so I can save as much as I can. Time to be strict and ruthless in deciding what is worth saving. Then I slash and burn and start all over from scratch.

Thank goodness this old laptop still works, so that I can do email, in the meantime. -- PGP Fingerprint: 0AA8 DC47 CB63 AE3F C739 6BF9 9AB4 1EF6 5AA5 BCDF Member, LEAF Project <http://leaf.sourceforge.net> AIM: MikeLeone Public Key - <http://www.mike-leone.com/~turgon/turgon-public-key.asc> Registered Linux user# 201348 Attachment:
