    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     /dev/sda4 has lvm2 and Under knoppix I am unable to mount (mamage)
    /dev/sda4 which i hope is to be done by
    ---------- # lvm
    ---------- # vgdisply
    ---------- # vgimport
    ---------- # mount
    ----------------------------------------
     knoppix does not support lvm?
    I am unable to access logical volumes to do fsck

    Yes but /home has my files and nothing from OS. That's why it is
    required to be restored.

    Thanks, and waiting for more suggestions..

    PS: On knoppix 3.9 I am using - Mozilla Firefox 1.0.4 is not opening
    any webpages, just keeps ticking its clock; and konqueror 3.4.0 is not
    a "fully supported browser" says Gmail !!!
