Now I'm angry -- cooker is far too dangerous to install. I expect it to be
buggy and broken but it has _no_ right to break other stuff!
I did an expert upgrade from hd.img - no formatting involved. A fairly
uneventful process, apart from the expected broken packages - 28 of them.
I thought I would try them manually after reboot.
My 9.15GB /dev/hdg5 partition, the entire disk, was mounted as
/mnt/downloads. It was full of all sorts of stuff apart from the cooker
mirror - now it's all gone - wiped clean.
I can't afford for this to happen, so I won't be playing with cooker any more
until you drakes can assure me that you have fixed this long-standing problem
for good.
It seems that, although people report missing partitions to you, you don't
believe it is happening. I didn't believe it was happening either - I knew
that DrakX would change my fstab entry to /tmp/mnt/disk or something for the
install - all I had to do was cp -f /etc/fstab~ /etc/fstab after the install
and all would be OK. No - contents had been erased. This is incompetence!
