I did several things, starting with doing my best to copy off the most

Personally, I don't think there is any reason to preserve anything more
than /home and maybe /usr/local, and a bit of /etc. One might even make
case for /root. With Linux it's much more practical to just re-install
in these situations.
There really is nothing outside of /home that can't easily be rebuilt
with an install, unless you have some irreplaceable apps or some
esoterically complex config files (which you /did/ back up at least into
your /home directory.
I have not yet run the Hitachi HDD diagnostics program because I
couldn't boot up to go online, at least not until after I did the
"e2fsck -c -c -v" on hde6. Even as I type this, I am downloading it.
Bummer. Seems like having just a single computer in the house is just
not sufficient these days.
On the other hand, you did manage to send this email on /someone's/
computer. ??
