I tried to install recover, but it doesn't seem to like ext3 partitions. I
think it's looking for ext2 exclusively. Anyone know how to get it to do
ext3? I also found a file undelete in Midnight Commander. I'm trying that
now. It's taking a really long time. I'll let you know how that comes out.
Thanks,
Jim
