I have an FC5 system with 4 200G disks and 2 logical volumes spread over all 4 of them. I need to figure out how to just nuke the fc5 bits while retaining the second volume group. I was going to try to boot the install dvd, mount the volume 00 (say on /mnt), mkdir /mnt/fc5 ; mv /mnt/* /mnt/fc5 Is this what you do? Is there a better way? Backing up ~800GB of data is going to take one heck of a big pile of DVD's. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S. Rupprecht http://www.wsrcc.com/wolfgang/
