Right, and I just discovered the truth of what you're saying.  You put SuSE9.2 
in my spare partition when you built this Sunset Systems machine.  (Though 
it's not part of the GRUB menu at present and so doesn't boot.) So I just 
cd'd over to that partition and noticed that /home was empty.

But I'm glad I asked this question anyway because of the information I got in 
the responses.  I will use that information in my future experiments.

Thanks again Pete, Rod and Rick.
