How would I recover?
Also when i was updating the system after my first install I had a few
other files crash I think the system said there was a total number of 5.
I was also having probelms updating Open Office.
I am some what familiar with unix. But a bit rusty. mainly i use
windows and i am tired of the viruses so i have switched the Ubuntu
Linux. Can you please help with this problem that i can fix.
thanks tony
