If people are still worried about this, I think making back up binary copy to Floppy may halp. # dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/fd0 block=512 count=2 THis always gives you complete recovery for base partition. Oh, some knopix like CD will be nice to have to use thjis. Now d-i CD is not as easy to use for recovery. Osamu PS: Giving hardware access from console is sure call for trouble if your brother or even your self are smart enough to make trouble. They can do real damage like I have done to myself. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
