Indeed, all the files in ~/ on my Jaunty disk are 1000:1000, and everything in ~/ on my new Fedora disk are 500:500. Not that it really matters. After getting all the data files from the Jaunty disk to the Fedora disk I just did "chown -R jjj:jjj ~/*" and the copies are now owned by the new me. A more interesting question is why a few of the files on the Jaunty disk are -rw-------, while most are -rw-r--r---. All the files in ~/ on the Jaunty disk were placed there by me, not operating as root. For example, the three files that I cited at the start of this thread are PDF files that I downloaded from the web page for the Applied Linguistics Department at PSU over the course of a couple of years. I am the one who downloaded them, not root. And there are many more such files in ~/ on the Jaunty disk that are also -rw-------.
