I've worked with UNIX-like systems for about 15 years, and it seems alot easier to copy the files from the disks yourself, than haveing a program do it. That way, YOU know what you're doing. I'm not saying the was FreeBSD did it is bad, just commenting on it. It probably makes it alot easier for people who have never user UNIX before. -- Dima At 04:56 PM 4/11/98 -0800, you wrote: >I have to question the maturity of this post.
