Unfortunately, the only clean way is to back up your data and reinstall. (You could maybe do some craziness with an x86_64 rescue disk, but that seems like more work.) When you *do* reinstall, I suggest making a separate /home partition and keeping all of your important data there. Then, next time something like this comes up, you can do a new install onto the system partition and carefully make sure that /home is not reformatted during install. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
