I'm using the Ghostcast Server 7.5 and an MS-DOS Ghost Bootdisk. What I normally do is install an OS fresh, install any drivers that I need to have a 'clean/basic/working' system. Create a ghost image. Then I get the machine 'back to where I had it' - which in my case is Website, Postfix, Mailman, Mailing Lists, Horde, Imp, Samba, Webmin, Usermin etc. Then I create a second ghost image. Then I create a 3rd image every Sunday of the current state of the machine. That way I'm covered if I install something and it BOMBS and I'm covered if I install something and it works fine.
I do this with ALL my machines at home whether they be Linux, Win2K Pro or Win2K Advanced Server. Makes life a bit easier if I try to install something new an hour before I have to be at work and it ends up bombing the system. :) Jim Hale --- Jim & Kathy's Website Collection http://hale.dyndns.org > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of BG > Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 11:10 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Dual Boot Installation > > > Jim, > > What version of Ghost are you using?
