    Thanks for your help Jon. I only just finished backing up /home and
    /root to a few tarchives on the Dark Side of my machine. Yes, you are
    right, my directories were on several different partitions. /home was
    on /dev/md0, a disk-striping software raid. For some reason that
    totally escapes my intellectual powers, /dev/md0 ( containing /home
    and god knows what else... I forgot long ago) and /dev/md1 (swap
    device) , entirely disappeared from the /dev/ directory. Yet, for a
    mystical and transcendental manifestation the Light Side of
    Informatics, when I typed "mount /home" all the files that were
    contained in that directory reappeared. I quickly mounted the Dark
    Side partition and copied them there. Now, all I have to do is verify
    the integrity of the backups, raze the Light Side and reinstall it
    from from the CD. I'll then have to reinstall and rebuild a few things
    (gcc, kernel, x ...) and then hopefully all will be well...

    Greetings and thanks to all list members who have patiently born this
    thread without flaming me. I greatly appreciated everybody's help and
    indulgence.

    Alex
