I don't suppose there is any chance of running their tools on plain Debain? If I did go to Progeny, do I have to start from the beginning (i.e. try to remember all the configuration files I have painstakingly set up correctly, and back them up, along with everything else I have changed/added to the machine, so I can restore them), or can I use it without trashing my existing installation? Or maybe I could do a backup of my root partition, install Progeny on it, set up X, copy the config files, then restore my original partition. I wonder how I could go about restoring my root partition - is it possible to make a boot floppy that does not need a mountable root partition on the hard disk? -- Nikki Locke, Trumphurst Ltd.
