I knew I forgot to include something in my message. I also forgot to
mention that the system is running 6.1 now and that I have to downgrade
it. I'd like to do it without having to do a restore. If I can copy all
the stuff I need to /dist and copy it back after the downgrade, that would
be great.
Here is the partition table of the system in question.
Name Flags FS Type Size (MB) use
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hda1 Boot Linux ext2 5371.11 /
hda5 Linux ext2 11679.90 /dist
hda6 Linux ext2 3224.31 /var
hda7 Linux swap 139.83 swap
Thanks,
