You're so right ;-) Main problem (at least to me) is almost everytime *what* is important data and what is not? I don't mean my personal stuff (that's the easy part), but more, which control files and (fine) tunings on the running system do I not want to loose? /etc and /usr/local/etc are very important data dirs, but what others are too? -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11 ++ FreeBSD 5.3 + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
