Got it back up and working! Had to sneek back in with 1.5 live and run sudo nautilus and wipe out a couple of movies and in turn delete them from the root/.Trash . PHEEUHW! Stoked! I'm going to drop a buch of info in a new Precautionary Thread for how to prevent that from happening. And hopefully we can get a How-To going for the partitioning aspect of new installs.... make a seperate partition for /home!!!

Glad to hear you are back up and running. I used the tutorial at psychcats to make my /home, BUT...

I remember when I formated my new HDD... I had designated that space as /home before I even went through all that in the tutorial.. I just forgot that I did it, so I cant say for certain that it worked as planned. I do know that I added something by mistake to something, as when I boot up.. I get a bunch of mumbo jumbo text scrolling down my screen telling me its going into some other mode and that I can exit the root shell and continue to boot by pressing ctrl+D. It then boots as normal. I think what I did was specify accidently to either mount or something a drive known as hda3, which doesnt exist cuz I have sda and sdb drives...

Hey jfg69, thought I might mention SUM (start-up-manager) in System>>Administration>>start-up-manager. Don't know if you've played with that at all but you can configure a bunch of options in there as well. Simple GUI with check box's drop down menus ect. Maybe we should move this conversation to the 1.6 thread? I see you are talking about your 1.6 by the looks of your /boot/grub/menu.lst (which by the way looks pretty normal except for the very first few lines specifying your splash). So check out your SUM and see if that helps at all, what I think happens alot with Ultimate Edition is a case of having to many hands in the cookie jar" sometimes PM me if you want to move this topic or just post a link to it. Later dude, good luck!
