There is a way to create a rescue disk on the the first CD-ROM. The best thing to do is to backup your /home directory and maybe /usr/local if you need to and do a clean install. If you have other areas with data you need to save then also include those. tar cvfz home.tar.gz /home tar cvfz local.tar.gz /usr/local then you need to copy or move them to another disks or burn them to a cdrom using cdrecord. -- Best Regards, Keith NW Oregon Radio http://kilowatt-radio.org/ Pax melior est quam iustissimum bellum.
