I fixed it! Problem was I needed to fsck to the max, with many file
systems screwed up. Sorry, should have tried to fix it before I posted but
I got REALLY nervous about losing my system. It is tweaked to the max and
took me hours and hours of loving care to do it. ~whew~
I love having the possibility of asking for help in here.
Thanks for all your help (even though you didn't know you were giving it),
from a long time lurker.

Hey, great idea! What should I use to do that? I have WinXP backed up
with Nero but didn't know I could do it with Debian.

Install doc-linux-text and take a look at the CD-Writing-HOWTO.
Good luck.

Give mondo rescue (http://www.mondorescue.org/) a try.
Debian packages are available.
Besides backing up, it incorparates a methode of restoring your system, by
booting a generated image of your system (by incorporating mindi).

You can also try using CVS or subversion to create a backup of every
change you make to your system. I've read a couple articles by people
who do all their work through CVS so they have complete change control
over everything on their system. The benefit is you have backup &
rollback control over all system changes. The downside is the extra work
you have to put in. Also, your CVS repository should be on a different
spindle from your main system.

Thank you! I will DEFINITELY give it a try! hmmm.. lots of uninstalled

Ooooo... rollback is my kind of thing. I am always trying new things and
some of those "things" don't mesh very well. hahaha. I downloaded
subversion. We shall see how much expertise I've got when it's all over,
eh wot? lol

Huh? No disrespect intended but is there anyone on the planet who owns
a computer that doesn't know how to write to CDs?

Why not just install the Debian package and let Apt take care of the
dependencies? 'apt-get install mondo mondo-doc' and Bob's your uncle.
