   I can't imagine how you can live without any backup for so precious files:
   According a long experience, the 2 computer parts which most often fail
   are the power supply and the disks...
   As it was already said here, you can purchase nowadays very cheap
   external drives (for example a 60 Go Seagate for about $60), or at
   least a 16 Go usb pen drive.

   for testing purposes, it has not been mentionned that a good
   solution, if you don't have or don't want to use an other computer,
   is to use a virtual machine(virtualbox is perfect for that, and don't
   needs too much resources (I run it on an old laptop with 512 Mo of RAM)

   you also mentionned that the left/right arrow don't work to
   change levels: they work for me (alpine version 2.0 on Karmic)
