don't you mean 'sudo rm -f *'? :P
Seriously though, with a livecd in and the hd with the
root partition not mounted I can mount the partition
with /home and seee stuff that was recently put there.
Perhaps I stated it wrong.....
'ln -s /mnt/hda4 /home' will make /hda4 my home partition?
(provided I have the proper line in fstab -1-)
So then 'ln -s /mnt/hda4 /home' makes the computer put '/
home' on '/mnt/hda4' so the result is '/mnt/hda4/home'? I
think this is correct.

/dev/hda4 /mnt/hda4 ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1
