Hello list; I would like to know how to zip/bzip2/tar.gz etc my Windows XP partition. I rarely use XP, when I last did - I realized what a PITA it was to get current. (fdisk/format/w98se/upgrade to XP/load drivers/load SP1/patch/load progs) So I would like to make an iso (while I still have space), and burn it to DVD. I know that Linux file permissions are not possible on vfat, but how do I save the vfat file attributes? hid/sys/archive Is there a script out there to do this? Thanks Mick M. ===== Dogs have Masters - Siamese Cats have Staff! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
