[tde-users] Re: SDD puzzle -- *maybe* solved

said Dr. Nikolaus Klepp: | Ah, ok, I somehow missed the part with /home still on sda1 ... sounds | like a good reason to keep that drive :) As well you should have! I mistyped -- /home is sda3, which as you note justifies keeping the drive, not sda1, which would have been begging for trouble, and with it there I would have deserved any ill that befell me! Drive organization is, seems to me, a science and art unto itself. One of the reasons I hated-hated-hated KDE-4.x was the insistence of the boys in sprinkling the (at first just terrible) KDE all over the place instead of maintaining the tradition of putting it where it belongs, in /opt/kde. (That was another time when many of us were compiling the whole thing every week or so. I did a Linux Planet piece in which I tested to see if one could compile all of KDE -- 3.x at the time, I think -- in the time that it took to drive from Newtown, Connecticut, to Key West, Florida. The compile, on a P-133, took longer! But in /opt, it was easy to rename the old, working directory, compile the new KDE, and if it didn't work switch back to the old version.) -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/
