Hi,

I've never had this happen before.  Just did an expert install of the
"new" RC3 using the hd.img and packages in /home, and when I booted for
the first time, I discovered that /home/damon had been wiped clean :-(

A possible cause: I did an install onto a machine that previously did
its authentication via ypbind.  For this install I chose local, since I
wanted a local authentication for root.  I was going to convert it to
ypbind after install.

A second possible cause: I rm -rf .gnome*, .kde*, and .nautilus*

A third possible cause: I did not run the first time wizard.

I didn't see anything unusual in the logs.  I'll e-mail them to Pixel
anyway.

I'm especially puzzled since all the packages used to install were in
/home/damon

Damon
