Of course, I didn't backup before rm -rf /etc; cvs co etc. Doh! I use PRCS, and there are debs. PRCS keeps everything, including empty directories. It's propper branch/merge/rename etc support mean I keep all my machines in the one project as seperate branches, and I can merge changes across between them painlessly. It has some limitations, like no network transport (I use rsync instead), but it is ideal for something like this; simple, easy to use, reliable, and nothing more. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Donovan Baarda http://minkirri.apana.org.au/~abo/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
