I'm with you on that, Richard. But then, I don't have a "production"
system. My current setup is to have a /, a /backup, and a swap
partition. Everything that's truly important gets copied to /backup
regularly so I don't have to reset everything if I do a reinstall at the
next Mandrake release. (Or if I go brain dead and try another distro
instead.)
