I ran dump -L -0f - / dump -L -0f - /usr dump -L -0f - /var dump -L -0f - /tmp and save these files remotely. Could I then expect to reinstall fbsd and restore these dump files and have the same state of the system when I dumped? including all ports and all? kimberly __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
