My help was an entry in the Kubuntu-users mailing List. I don't know how it got into your program, however, there is a problem with the instruction I gave. I suggested by example of an installation of Jaunty to my own machine. I suggested the following: Establish a primary partition where you mount the 'home' partition as /home/steven (that is the way I did for myself); shortly after I posted the help, I started having trouble with permissions. I should have suggested that the 'home' partition be mounted as /home and not /home/steven as I had for myself. Once the 'home' partition is mounted as just /home, with all other partitions (excepting boot and swap) mounted as /home/<your name>/<whatever you want to call it, ie. backup, movies, whatever> then all saved data will be kept on partitions unaffected by application crashes. To be even safer, I have mounted an additional HDD that is called /home/steven/backup2. That way if I have hard drive failure, it is likely to not affect both drives at the same time. This redundancy is only as important as your data. I apologize for the mis-instruction. I can only hope that no one has been hurt by it. If there is a better way to rectify this problem, email me at stevenvollom@sbcglobal.net.
