I know how this feels: Two days ago I copied my Win98 C:\ drive backup from
hdd1 to hda1 once again because some Windows stuff whichI hardly need any more
anyway did not work any more. Did not consider
to backup C:\windows\Desktop where I keep some important recent work in a few
folders, symlinked to from /home/<mylogin>/Desktop. Argggh.
Thanks for alerting me to the necessity of backing up .<something> folders
before experimenting!
The summer weather is splendid now where I live though.
