You probably don't have proper permissions to get to your old /home. As root you should not have any trouble accessing the files once the partition is mounted.

Hi,
I'm not sure what the problem is. I tried to install an update from RH 7.1 to RH 8, and it failed. I attempted it several times, again and again it reports at different positions that some package couldn't be installed, accessed or that there is a problem in formatting a partition (I always asked to format the root partition).
I have a partition which was formatted with extf3 and reserved for /home. I can't access my data there anymore, because I can't install RH 8 - for whatever reason. Now I tried Knoppix, it boots well into the system, and is running. No problem. I can see the /home-partition, and see the folders in it, but they are locked. How do I go about it and unlock them? I want to save the data from there, redo the entire harddisk and see if that is the problem...
Any help will be appreciated!

Rock is right. To become root just: 'sudo su'
Thanks, that did it!
