But you have backups anyway, right?
OK ,let's ask the awkward questions. 1.How many of the members of this list have *complete* backups the their umpteen-gigabyte disks?
I don't think it is necessary to back up an entire disk, just the important bits. I use three 250me zip discs. One holds docs, my own source code and mail, another mp3 files and the third important progs not normaly found in distributions.
This way, whenever I reinstall I just back these three up first, install/format, set up the same users and copy these three discs across. the only other thing I have to do is set up email/news accounts agin.
