The upshot of having taken the trouble to try to retrieve the contents of the /home directory of my failed upgrade is the revelation that I need not have bothered. After I mounted the /dev/sda6/home (sda6 is the entire old system), dir showed a content of zero. I am very surprised that an update, no matter how screwed up it becomes (and especially without giving any hint of trouble during the "upgrade process", can actually delete the entire content of the installation. Yet openSuSE seems to be up to that task. So thanks again for all those who helped me along to get to this point. First thing tomorrow mornind, I will install v10.3 anew, without the need to bring over anything at all from the destroyed v10.2. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel Old Fart n. slang (old fart'; in New England, old faaht') Tribal Elder.
