I doubt that too... :-)

No - it was a roughly 800 meg file. I've got a 120 gigger, lots of space on
home, and partmon -is- running.

I won't know I guess - until/if it happens again. (heavers forbid!). As far as
recovery, yes, I was able to use CD1 to "fake" an update, deselect all
packages, reformat /dev/hda8 (home) and reinstall from backup CD/DVD.
I guess it could have been worse.
