I agree with your other points, but it isn't all that hard to restore a full Linux system. You just need a run-from-CD version to do the fdisk/format steps so you can mount up partitions that more-or-less match the old ones, then restore over the network from the tar image you can get from BackupPC_tarCreate and fix up grub or lilo to boot again. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
