Apart from the windows drives, is this saying that the linux install is
just on hdb7 and tmpfs?
Yes and no. tmpfs is just a ramdisk, no need to back that up. ;)
All your Linux stuff is in hdb7. If you change your partition layout,

Reasons for starting from scratch:

Fair enough, it is a good idea if you have screwed around with things.
I'll add that I did a SuSE upgrade on Sue (surname forgotten -
acquaintance of Rik)'s laptop, I think from 9.0 to 9.2 or something of
that order, and it worked just fine. Just slipped the DVD in, booted and

I think all sig files over a couple of lines are evil, especially in

OK I fsck'd the drive and it didn't go readonly in the night.
It did come up with a number of errors though. I will now keep an eye on
