However, the reported contents of his /home is rather odd.

>From his original mail:

     [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home$ ls
     bin    dev     initrd.img      media  root  tmp      vmlinuz.old
     boot   etc     initrd.img.old  mnt    sbin  usr
     cdrom  home    lib             opt    srv   var
     david  initrd  lost+found      proc   sys   vmlinuz

That does rather look like somehow things that should be in / have been copied
to or installed in /home.

David, can you provide the output (including any errors) of the following
commands?

ls /boot
ls /home/boot
cat /etc/lsb-release
cat /home/etc/lsb-release
