Not trying to be argumentative here, just an observation... Isn't it the configuration files where the mistakes are usually made? If you're restoring those, you're restoring the mistakes perhaps? I agree, I like a freshly loaded machine too, but there's a lesson to be learned in teaching oneself how to back out of major mistakes -- especially if one wants to do system administration for a living. I have been doing professional system admin for years, so I guess that's the path I tend to take is learning how to recover gracefully from mistakes with as little downtime as possible. Config files get copied to new names before all changes, etc... It's all fun, no matter how you slice it. If it's not fun, definitely time to do something else with one's precious time in life. :-) All the best, -- Nate Duehr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
