OK. I have a update on this back-up thing. It don't work. I read that if you start it with no options it will figure most of it out then ask you for the rest. So I tried that way first. I get this though:
> [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # mondoarchive > Initializing... > See /var/log/mondo-archive.log for details of backup run. > Checking sanity of your Linux distribution > Please install 'mindi'. I cannot find it on your system. > There may be hyperlink at http://www.mondorescue.com which > will take you to the relevant (missing) package. > Could not ascertain mindi's version number. > You have not installed Mondo and/or Mindi properly. > Please uninstall and reinstall them both. > Fatal error...

It seemed that each time I stopped and picked up another version of something it was skipping some things it said it needed before. Maybe this is normal, maybe this is what is wrong. Anybody have any clues how to get past this? I like this one because I can make a CD that boots and restore from that. Kdar does work though. Thanks Dale :-) :-) :-) P.S. This is a resend. I didn't get a copy back and I always have in the past. Apologies if this is a dup. -- www.myspace.com/dalek1967 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
