The screen went bad, and my network guy says most likely Dell will replace the unit rather than fix the screen.
It's a dual boot box, and it's the only linux machine that is in the office. (I.e., it's not really supported).
He intends to back up the windows side to the server, but I dont know what to do with the linux side.
So, option 1 is back up the linux side to the server (I'll need appx 7 gigs to do this, and I think they'll give it to me for a short period of time. I am busy checking).
But I dont really know how, so any tips would be appreciated.
Option2, would be to just save a record somewhere (a text file) of my make.conf, heck maybe the entire /etc/ directory and a list of all my installed ebuilds.
Any advice/ recommendations appreciated.
This is a dell latitiude x200, and it took a fair amount of hacking to get gentoo on it. I am not looking forward to doing it again. And I am not sure I can remember all the steps I took.
Other info: 30 gig hd split appx 50-50 windows 200/ gentoo 1.4 firewire cd drive
Thanks to all. Gentoo is great!
