Hello,

I tried upgrading Kubuntu Breezy to Dapper using the "alternative CD"

It didn't work particulary well and so I looked at kubuntu.org for information on what to do.

The upshot is, in the words of the website, that I have "hosed" my Kubuntu install.

Naturally enough I didn't do a backup before had because everything that I had done with Kubuntu in the past had worked fine.

I have Suse10 installed on other partitions and I can happily see my kubuntu partitions so the file systems aren't corrupt, its just that Kubuntu won't boot anymore.  I'll happily resign myself to a fresh install of Kubuntu Dapper except the only data I don't know how to retrieve is information stored in my phpwiki that relies on MySQL for the content storage.  I'd forgotten I had it on my machine but now that I have remembered it I'd really like it back.

Is my data recoverable from MySQL?  I don't mind if I have to cut and paste everything back into the wiki.  It doesn' contain heaps of data but it does contain some techobabble gems and I would like to recover them if possible.

Is it doomed?
