It depends on how far into it you got. If it fdisked the drive, you can maybe recover it by fdisking it again into the layout that was on it. If it formatted the drive, chances are slimmer, but you might be able to recover some with fdisk and a few other tools (too lengthy to explain now, and I'm not necessarily the expert on those tools). If it started writing, you're probably SOL on recovery. There are a few others that do the same thing as smoothwall (wipe it all out and write). This needs to be a lesson: _ALWAYS_ research those all-in-one firewall/gateway/router/server packages because most of them use the same trick of wiping it all out. Sorry I can't be of more assistance. Maybe with a little more information.... -- An NT server can be run by any idiot, and usually is. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
