I want to backup the system ( meaning the whole system / , and /home included ) because i'm very tired of reinstalling ( no negativity intended just trying to be honest ) every time I try to update something and it breaks something else, or i try to install some app which is supposed to work with my distro, ( LM 8.0 stock kernel 2.4.3-20mdk ) I have everything working well now and have only to install a new scsi card ( ava aha-2906 ) when it gets here to try and get my umax astra 600s ( scanner ) working. I want to an extreme degree to not have anything windows on by box. and have been using Mandrake for three years or so ( maybe I'm a little slower on the uptake than others ) but I still have trouble with some simple things which stop me from completely removing windows. a way to make a simple backup which i can use to restore the system is one. To clarify more exactly: I have a cdrw and can use it to burn a disk, and would like to make a linux restore cd if possible. short of that i can backup to another hd ( There are three in the box, hda=windows hdc5/6/7=/,swap/home Lm8.0 hdd5=/backup ) If there is a different or simpler way tell me. Thanks. Ps if you knew I wanted to know how , It would have been nice to at least tell me something simple and basic as others did. Sorry , didn't mean any rudeness. Mike
