I will reinstall my (until a few days ago `stable' - see my previous mail)

Is `frozen' (potato) mature enough for a person who is not keen on bug hunting?

Apparently I was hacked (via nfsd) so I plan to reinstall the whole system.
Is it safe to leave the rest as is or do I have to do something more than just
clean the disk with `rm'?
I mean all the boot records, master boot records, LILO's and so on and so forth.

Rick gave we the following idea:
maybe it is easier to convert my data into a popular format and view it with a
standard viewer.
Any ideas about what format to use, where to find it's description?
I imagine that using `BMP' should be quite easy, but than I may need a
converter to e.g. GIF.
