followup;

while running Knoppix "sudo su" to become root.
looking in /etc/fstab Knoppix found my hard drive partitons.
mounting /dev/hda1 ( /boot ) /dev/hda5 ( /home) and /dev/hda7 ( / )
works.
looking in /mnt/hda1 shows some files including the kernel , good
But looking in /mnt/hda5 and /mnt/hda7 only show one subdir ,
lost+found, and
within this dir (on both partitions) there are no files -- "ls -ltra"
turns up only "." and ".."

Now what?

TIA,

Steve
