[...] If you want to monitor your network, the monitoring box needs to 'see' all the traffic that you want to monitor. Some better switches have the ability to set up one port in monitoring mode - this way all traffic (of computers connected to this switch) will be duplicated to this port.

Another way would be to do it 'by hand': - boot some live-cd (suse live-cd or knoppix) on the "empty" system - create partitions as needed and create filesystems - mount the new partitions - mount all filesystems of the system that should be cloned by NFS (*) - copy all files via rsync -auvx /source /destination to the new system - setup a bootloader: start 'grub' and enter (assuming that /boot is your first partition on your fist disk): root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) I'm sure there are many other (maybe better) ways, but i had good experiences with this one ...

I think an easier way than using the control-center module would be: Open the window in question and right-click the title-bar. Then select 'Advacned'.

The size and position of the window should be adjustable via the suggested dialog (or the controlcenter module).

Reoback does not help with that very much, you're right. With reoback, you would have to know which day of the past week your desired file changed last or you need to do something like "tar -ztf archive.tgz". But for me, this is sufficient. It should also be quite simple to extend reoback to write some kind of logfile, where it captures the filenames of backed up files per archive - I'm not sure if this is already builtin and configurable... -- David Mayr, http://davey.de openSUSE LINUX, http://opensuse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
