Hi ... I've just spent ages compiling my laptop. I'm really happy with the result ... So fast ...
What I want to is create a directory called /backup and then create a tarball using the command # tar -zcvf /backup/mylaptop.tar /[all directories] except /backup (as I don't want to go in circles). I'm then going to copy off the resulting tarball to my server in case my laptop dies (I'd rather not have to recompile everything). Does this sound OK?If I ever had to restore I would copy the file to / and run the command. # tar -zxvf mylaptop.tar -- Thanks, Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
