My way, when converting from Mandrake: Tar up /home & /etc directories. FTP them to another computer. Install Debian fresh. Retrieve the tarballs, and restore them to temporary directories under /var. Copy the relevant files back to /home. Since things in /etc are so (relatively) different, use the files in your /var etc/ directory as a guide to customizing things (like firewall rules, presuming the firewall script is in /etc!) after install. -- +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://ronandheather.dhs.org:81 | | | !
