Mandriva upgrade - ouch

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!
