> I have a backup:) Can I put everything in /home back from the backup and > it will work? Well, you got nothin' to lose by tryin' ;) Glad to hear you have a backup. The only gotcha, as ET referred to above, is that if you copy the files over from your backup, the UID might be wrong for your user account. It should not be, if you did an upgrade. The user accounts should stay the same, AFAIK. Even doing a clean install from 9.2 to 2006, that's all I did, just copied my data over to the new machine and all was fine. Of course, I'm always user #1...and the only user on this box! ;) Still a mystery why an upgrade would wipe your home dir/partition, tho :-\ -- JoeHill / RLU #282046 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Professor: This is gonna be one hell of a bowel movement. Afterwards, he'll be lucky if he has any bones left. ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
