No please no "reinstalling will solve your Problems". I can't believe someone can get such an idea. IF there should be a system-restoring app, then it should not use bad design like "re-installing" to do its job. We are using linux, so if it will be done it should work like WinXP restoring and with given seperated configuration and apps the restoring should be functional without eating up disc-space like XP do. (saving the index of installerd rpm's and backing up conf-files should do the job , shouldn't it ?) For sure a nice idea for newbies. -- Regards Steffen ____________________ counter.li.org : #296567. machine: 181800 vdr-box : 87 ____________________ Please dont CC me, since if I have replied I'll watch the tread.
