This barely works, and doesn't really do a point-in-time restore. If the rpm installs do things like update configuration files, re-installing an old version doesn't restore the config file. Linux doesn't have a free alternative to what the original poster wanted. He could, however, install some commercial Veritas software that does have true snapshot capabilities. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
