a bootable cd collection as a backup. now that's *cool*. ever had to use it (to make *sure* the restore works)? ==== OT: so where's the lexicon that relates quid, guinea, bob, shilling, pence, pound and so forth, for the ignorant north-americaner? :) -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0; Linux server 2.4.20-k6 #1 Mon Jan 13 23:49:14 EST 2003 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #16 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Why are *.rpm (RED HAT PACKAGES) considered spawn of Satan? Because the Debian package system is a lot more sophisticated than the one Red Hat uses; lots more inter-dependency information is built in to a *.deb package. If you bypass that with an *.rpm file, you're taking chances with your system. Try to "apt-get install <debian-only>" packages if possible. (Also check out the "alien" package if you must.)
