However, I am not looking for a magic cure to convert files, etc. I am just wondering if it's possible if I just copy the files onto a disk and put them back in their right places, will it work flawlessly. Also, would the esame approach work for stored e-mail, etc? On Mon, 5 Mar 2001, Simon wrote: > sounds like you don't know much about FreeBSD.
