Okay everybody who helped me, thanks.. I got all my data back, but the one question I have is, is there any way I can do an ls or something that goes through a filesysem and tells me only executable files? Or binaries? I just copied the whole /usr/home dir to my /tmp drive. (which was empty) Other than that I'm all set and wondering what version of BSD to install and how people recommend I install it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alson van der Meulen" <freebsd@alm.xs4all.nl> To: "Christopher J.
