1. How can I look in /dev/hda3 to see if my documents and saved mail is there?
mount /dev/hda3 /data1 (This you will probably need to do as root) Once it is mounted you can then move into this directory and see all the files from the first installation.
Does this mean there is *nothing* in /dev/hda3 or 5? or does it mean I must enter another command os some kind to see what is in there?
andy@linux:~> su Password: linux:/home/andy # mount /dev/hda3 /data1 linux:/home/andy #
Open konqueuer if you are using KDE and take a look at this directory /data1
andy@linux:~> su Password: linux:/home/andy # mount /dev/hda5 /data1 linux:/home/andy # You cannot use this in /etc/fstab /dev/hda5 was /data2
I can see that the disks have not been formatted, but you have used hda5, hda6 & hdb2 in the first installation.
Possible, but I thought it was /dve/hda3. But it's possible.
You do not require so much swap space. How much physical RAM have you got 512MB Then 512MB swap partation should be enough but check with kde info center KDE -> system -> Monitor -> info center click on memory that will show you how much is been swapped to disk.
2. If it IS there, how should I backup that data and then reinstall on a separate HOME partition, that would be accessable to both 9.2 and 9.3? When I re-install 9.2 I think I better reformat /dev/hda except for XP which is on /dev/hda1. Agree?
This is another subject have you a cd-writer Yes I do. good then you can burn your home directory when we find out where it is.
