i did exactly what was given in the handbook section... i don't recall if
there's anyting about backing up... if there is, then i did.  sorry, but i
have a horrible short term memory.

either way, it shouldn't be to big od a deal... well hopefully anyways...
i had a handful of user accounts and i didn't do much with the system
other than complie a few sources.

as for the FAQ... found the information.  thanks.
