Several weeks ago i decided to nuke the windows partition and go 'dangerously dedicated' on the whole drive. My backup procedure was *almost* perfect. I forgot my cvsup files and my source tree. Oh, well. Live and learn. But other than that, it was perfect, and i haven't looked back. A *big* plus was getting the zip drive and sound to work. And i hear that at least sound is *better* in 4.0. We'll see. ;-) Zip support is crucial to my backup procedure. > If you have another disk or at least another disk partition, you can > install a new version before you nuke the old one.

See above. :-) I'm gonna have to jump in with both feet. jm -- --------------------------------------------- Jonathon McKitrick / jcm@freebsd-uk.eu.org "Tears from the depth of some divine despair rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes in looking on the happy autumn fields and thinking of the days that are no more" --------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
