Certainly an interesting day...however I feel that all may not be lost.  My
SuSE installation is over two hard disks.  Partitions / /usr /opt are
unaffected on my 2nd hard disk.  The /dev/hda did contain /tmp /var /home
and swap.  I have a backup of /home but not /var.

Is it possible to re-create /var from the SuSE cd's?

How can the partition table contents help?  I know the size and location of
all my partitions.

Cheers
Rich

The moral of the story: Backup your data, and keep a map of your
partition table. If your partition table is messed up, in many cases you
can rebuild it from scratch if you know all your parameters, and not lose
data. Also, several Windows viruses can destroy partition tables.
