As matter of fact, just last night I made the mistake of installing the BIN dist when I was adding X11 to the system. As the system was only a week old, I had not set up backups yet (after three years of nightly tape backups under the previous OS) ... ... did you know that the BIN dist also (re)loads /etc for free? The system _will_ now backup via dump the root partition to a second drive every night -- after I tweak it tonight, I'll have incrementals for a week and weekly full backups going back a month. (I had week's worth setup before I went to bed last night.) I'll further add tape or Zip-drive later. Woe to the system that does not bow to an avatar of data recovery. -ahd-
