My question has nothing to do with David's question except it caused me
to have tgis problem.   have two drives /dev/sda1 & /dev/sda2.  2 is a
142 gig drive with an upgraded/updated Ubuntu 8.10 on it.  The other
drive has a SuSE 10.1 on it.  Or they did.  After reading all the
comments about David's problem I thought, "Why don't I upgrade my SuSE
drive/partition"?  So, I booted the SuSE DVD and discovered that there
was a problem with the passwd file.  Apparently I some how blew away??
my Ubuntu installation, although the last screen said no damage had been
done to any of the other installations.  Oh, 15 gigs on sda1 is an XP
installation to use my blood glucose meter.  I'm typing this using the
Ubunti 8.04 disk.  Can any of you folks give me some idea how to get at
my Ubuntu partition?  I've tried sudo cd /dev/sda6 (where it was
before), /dev/hda6.
Please, I need help!!
Thanks,
Bob
P.S.
I won't be able to get back to yo folks for an hour or two.  Need to
take my wife to Doctor.
