have you been rootkitted?
I don't think so.I have downloaded only music and the flash-plugin for FF rpm.
BTW,Right now,it doesn't matter,since my home was on cd,i deleted my mandriva partitions and remade them and reinstalled.
Lucky you,looks like it's my copy of the DVD that has a problem.BTW,I have never had a completely unhindered install.Always the Mandriva theme is not properly installed.Could that be a part of the reason?

An empty directory with a lost+found is generally seen for an empty
partition.. perhaps the /home that you see from mandriva and the one you see from knoppix are different..
When I see from mandriva,i click on the home icon on my desktop and when I
see from knoppix,i click on the home partition (hda6),I don't think that's abnormal. ;)
Easwar, see my reply to your earlier mail. Data doesn't get
lost/overwritten randomly.. it is mostly pebkac.
What's pebkac?It was not lost/overwritten,it was not visible within Mandriva ie it had a physical existence but was not visible within Mandriva but visible from Konsole of Knoppix live cd.

Your hard disk could be getting baddy baddy or FS is corrupted. BTW,
what is an luser account and how different is it from user?
The luser account is the same as the user account.
Again, corrupted files?
Please see the next sentence or para.I chowned my way there.It was inaccessible because i was not the owner.(I was Knoppix root,NOT Mandriva root)
