Re: backup windows partition (fat)
Rather than purchase commercial software, why not just use tar, cp, dd, or partimage? I'm a little rusty on my DOS, but I seem to remember there are a couple of hidden system files that have to go back into a certain place in the partition (io.sys, msdos.sys?) but you should be able to get around that by doing a system format, before restoring the files. mike On Sunday 02 November 2003 10:39 pm, you wrote: Collins Richey wrote: Is there an easy way to backup a windows partition then restore it later without gimping anything that windows requires?

I'm not sure but if you setup the partition to copy to then tar the old partition over to the new one, that would get all the files over to the new drive. Before you do that make a recovery (or startup floppy) in win98. After using tar then you can move the new drive to hda position, boot from the floppy and then sys c: That would makr your C:\ bootable (in win98). I've never done this but I cant see why it wouldn't work. On the startup wintendo floppy there is format and fdisk. I imagine that you will be partitioning the new drive and formatting whi8le still running on the old drive. The rest should go smoothly. -- Ted Ozolins (VE7TVO) Westbank, B.

What is your motherboard ? Is it an Abit BP6 ? That'll cause mysterious lockups because of an under-rated capacitor.

Well I thought so too when I got the message. But a new project built from Redhat 9 called Fedora is going to continue the stream (sponsored by RH). Since I've already got systems configured on that, I'm going to give it a try and see how it goes... Will keep you posted!

Star Office 7
I just bought SO 7 from the lindows warehouse. At $30 bucks I figured why not, SO6 works well. An immediate, and welcome difference, is that it starts up much faster. This is actually important for reading documents on the internet. And, wonder of wonders, it doesn't start a second instance of itself when you click on two documents in the file browser to edit. That was a pain in SO6. And it has a macro recorder as well as an editor. Now, this is progress. Has anyone used SO7? Any impressions? Tips?

Wonders of vim: Multiple file editing
Just to share the joy of vim, which is the vi loaded with many distros. I had to edit about 30 documents, converted from .doc via staroffice to text files. StarOffice did the conversion perfectly. Each had a similar format as .doc files, and I needed to make changes in the newly created text files so that they could be converted into html files of a particular format. In the past, I had to edit each file individually, or run sed scripts from the command line, which always involved a big hassle in saving the new file to a different name, then moving them back again. Now, I find that the command vi *.txt loads all 30 documents at once. There are a few commands for handling multiple files at one time which we all should know: buf! BufferID switches to the buffer desired. You can use the buffer number or the first, unique part of the file name. :buf! MyFi or :buf! 2 :ls lists them all :bufdo! runs a command on all of them, for example: :bufdo! 1,$ ! sed s/PATTERN/REPLACE/ If you have a complicated sed script: :bufdo! 1,$ ! sed -f script This is really magic. If you mess up, a very likely occurrence: :bufdo! u changes everything back. You can try out the sed command or script on just one document, then use the :bufdo! command to run it against them all. :wall saves everything. :help buffers is very useful.
