I am experimenting with jaques 2.4.14 kernel on the Dachstein floppy. The first problem I encountered was at backing up root. As far as I found out now, root backs up /var/log too allthough it is in the exclude list. It seems to me that the problem is. a concurrence between /var/log/ in the include.list and /var/log/*.log in the exclude.list. Allthough I understand what this should do, probably the script doesn't ;) Eric Wolzak http://leaf.sourceforg.net/devel/ericw _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
