[olug] SUSE Linux 9.3 help

[Joe Gulizia]

I used the SUSE 9.3 install disks (OLUG Installfest)
and I get that hda6 and hda11 cannot mount....More
specifically "filesystem type unknown" for hda11 which
is where all the "home" accounts are.

I can get to the command line BUT no KDE for me (or
any other GUI)  when I try "startx" I get some error
about XServer not found or similar.

Is there a way to log my keystrokes or commands so I
can put the exact process into an email for those of
you with the oracle of linux knowledge instead of me
just going off of my memory.

Thanks in Advance.

Joe
