Thanks in > advance! you can "clone" the disk a few ways. the more popular ones are rdist(1), tar(1), and dd(1). these are all fairly well documented. i would HIGHLY suggest you dig up more information on your graphics program first, and see what libraries, dependancies, and binaries it depends on before you do anything. digging up information about what you're messing with, before you play around with copying it is vital, and may save you quite a bit of grief. -------/ f. johan beisser /--------------------------------------+ http://caustic.org/~jan jan@caustic.org "John Ashcroft is really just the reanimated corpse of J.
