Hi, I an going to do a re-installation of Windows and Debian and planned on backing up the /etc directory. My /home and /usr/local are on a second drive so will remain intact. What else on the / partition might need to be saved? I don't have any databases or anything out of the ordinary (that I know of, or remember)
I scanned through dpkg -l | less to see if any installed package may need special treatment, or that I made extensive changes to, but found none. Where else to look? Thanks, here's my current fs layout. pc1:/# df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 792195 547457 203814 73% / /dev/hdb1 595163 232770 331651 41% /usr/local /dev/hdb2 495746 75221 394922 16% /home /dev/hdc 470728 470728 0 100% /cdrom pc1:/# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 128 heads, 63 sectors, 850 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 25 100768+ 6 FAT16 dev/hda2 * 26 228 818496 83 Linux /dev/hda3 229 431 818496 6 FAT16 /dev/hda4 432 634 818496 83 Linux Disk /dev/hdb: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 619 cylinders Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 1 305 614848+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 306 559 512064 83 Linux /dev/hdb3 560 619 120960 82 Linux swap -- Jim Foltz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ACORN techie <http://www.acorn.net> AOL/IM Jim Foltz
