I had some experiences with RS/6000 several years ago. I usually inserted a 8mm tape and backed up everthing into it (or at least the root filesystem, I am not sure. But I am sure SMIT in AIX has the system backup facility). If the system was corrupted, I just restored from the tape which is bootable. It was a lot easier than installing from scratch. Now I am asking if I can do similar things on FreeBSD. This time I want to use CD-ROM instead of tape (because I do not have a tape drive). In other words I want to create a ISO CD image from a live system. I can FTP the CD image to another NT machine and burn it. Any help is appreciated. -------------------------------------------------- Zhihui Zhang.
