This is a much better solution than tapes with larger disks, as its both faster and leaves you with a bootable volume when you're done. - -- Karl Denninger (karl@denninger.net) Internet Consultant & Kids Rights Activist http://www.denninger.net My home on the net - links to everything I do! http://scubaforum.org Your UNCENSORED place to talk about DIVING! http://homecuda.com Emerald Coast: Buy / sell homes, cars, boats! http://genesis3.blogspot.com Musings Of A Sentient Mind
