Being of the belief that a fresh reinstall can help to spring-clean my machine, my usual approach to backups is to preserve my package selections and the files that I've added (e.g. in /home/) and modified (e.g. in /etc/) that wouldn't be recovered in a simple package reinstallation.
I see that dpkg can tell me about associations between files and packages. Can I somehow get a list of the md5sums of the package maintainers' version of the files so I can tell if they were modified? Maybe things aren't as simple as I'm imagining? -- Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
