The reason things are vague is because they are changing. If you want detailed information about what you were running, look in the source tree. The include files are particularly usefull. This is a *very* delicate thing to want to do. If what's on the disks is really valuable, and you didn't have backups, you might consider contacting some of the people on the consultants list to see if any of them have done this kind of thing before, then pay them to do it for you. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Unix/FreeBSD consultant, email for more information.
