First, for allowing user-mountable filesystems on a single-user system, does it not make more sense to mount them to points under the user's home directory rather than having to chmod the ones under /mnt every reboot? Also, does anyone know of a good backup strategy or program for zip drives? I don't have a tape, and i don't want to dump all of /etc and /home, since a lot of that would be unnecessary for a system restore, and also wastes time. So far, I dump the output of pkg_info to my home directory. I am also considering just building a list of paths and filenames and use this as arguments for tar and bzip. Does anyone have a better idea? jcm -- "I drank WHAT ?!" - Socrates To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
