Hi All:
	I have a multi-boot 3 unix box I'm toying with. I was using the Debian
partition as my main work station for a while... till I broke it. I have
some e-mails and addresses on that partition I would like to export to
the other partitions, perhaps even create a permanent reference file to
share system wide. The main problem I have, beside the fact that, in my
lust for UNIX POWER, I keep breaking things:), is that the Evolution
files in my mostly-dead Debian partition are locked and resist any
attempt to move them. Any thoughts on gaining access to these files to
copy or move them? 

 BTW I'm thinking of using Knoppix as my recovery tool, and the boot
error on Debian is: 

Enter runlevel 5
