One problem with this thought, if the cd packages are pointed to backup to a floppy by default, what happens when the Newbie decides to backup the entire disk to a floppy??? It's the chicken/egg question! Once you backup a package to a floppy and load it during boot once, it will backup to the last place loaded (ie... the floppy) and life will be great. Other side of the coin, they keep trying to backup ~20Meg to a floppy and can't figure out why it doesn't work! Maybe the default way isn't any worse, it could be conceivably better depending on you POV. -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
