Yep I suppose that could be the problem :-|. I apologise for innate
stupidity. This i suppose leads me onto my final question.

How can I reformat to ext3 without losing all the data on /usr/local/?
Can I do it without a re-install? It's taken me a week to get the
computer sorted and I don't really want to have to go through it all
again.
