Ant configuration you want to keep (your home directory, roots home directory, /etc . etc can be placed in a tar file(s) and restored on your new machine. Network configuration is in /etc. Also be aware of the -k option on untarring. It will not overlay any existing file with a file from the tar with the same name. Not overlaying new gnome configuration files is a good use of this feature. -- ======================================================================= Real Users find the one combination of bizarre input values that shuts down the system for days. ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University telephone: (210)-999-7484
