(Of : course, you probably don't want the "/home" to be copied, but you get : the idea.) Yes, but I need to have machine number 1 in this infinite series first. Since I don't have a a -stable machine to clone from, I thought I'd do it from my -stable build tree. I have many -current machines that I could clone, but I didn't think downgrading from -current to -stable was possible... Warner
