Why is it important that you use the rescue CD? > Why can't you just do a fresh install of FC5 and then do a restore? I don't want to do a fresh install, because I don't want to go through the work of fixing up all the packages and configuration files afterwards. I want to be able to restore the FC4 system as it was, then do an upgrade to FC5. Also, being able to restore a system in this fashion means that I have a complete system backup that I can just pop onto the machine and run. > If you use the install procedure, can't you resize partitions and format > new filesystems and then, from the running FC5-system do a restore? I need to restore the root filesystem, which I can not do on a running system. Does this all make sense? Thanks! ---Kayvan -- Kayvan A.
