It's a good approach. Anytime that you have to exchange things between different filing systems (e.g. ext3 versus ISO9660, or better, on a DVD) there's a chance that something will get changed in a way that will cause you problems. You avoid that by archiving. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
