I'm shortly going to reformat my harddisk to remove my Windows partitions (yay!) and I want to make a complete backup of my entire Linux system.
If I create some tar.gz archives from / and store them on CD-R, will I be able to use the rescue disk to format and mount the new partitions, and just restore the archives from CD? Is there a better way to do this? -- alisdair mcdiarmid [i won't tear again i won't breathe in the shards of what is left]
