Mandriva upgrade – ouch

Date October 12, 2007

Actually, the ‘upgrade’ wasn’t an upgrade so much as a switch back.  I’ve been on ubuntu from dapper through fiesty, and switched over to mandriva 2008 yesterday.  I thought I’d backed everything up, but I’d forgot a few things.

  • Everything in /var

doesn’t sound like much, except that’s where my development php code was, as well as my mysql databases.  *Most* of it was not that useful – demo code, etc.  But, I did have my work development blog there, so I’ve just lost 2 months of posts.  OUCH!  :(
