Well, right now it's all kind of moot. Everything is borked except Windows. It's ok though because Windows is the OS that I need on this computer most. Kubuntu was there as a backup in case my main computer choked and openSUSE was for testing.
You do have a way with words, Billie O:-) . You have Kubuntu as your backup in case your main computer goes belly-up -- but you have Kubuntu installed on the same computer and the same HDD..... I guess that you must have a contingency plan should the HDD, containing both Windows and your Kubuntu, goes belly-up?
(As part of my contingency plan, for years I have installed all my HDDs in cradles and I can therefore move them from computer to computer in case one of the machines comes up with a puff of smoke from its innards :-) .)

Actually, I have two desktops. My main computer is an Acer AMD quadcore. This one I hammer ever day. Call it my "production machine". The eMachine Intel dual core that I have been talking about, I use to primarily run Windows for those few things that I just can't find a way to do in Linux. I keep an updated, and set up, Kubunutu in case the Acer goes "belly-up". I would like to replace the dual core with another quad core, but being retired and independently broke makes that difficult at this time. I also have a full size laptop [ Kubuntu/Windows ], an Asus net book [ Kubuntu only ] and a Dell Duo net book/tablet [ It's a little bigger and heavier than a tablet but has the functionality of both a net book and a tablet. Windows only at this time. ]. What I call my really important information is stored on an external hard drive AND another machine at home as a backup to my regular computers. -- “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests”. - Patrick Henry - _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
