Hi, Backing up is always a wise thing, won't argue there:) But i didn't do anything drastic, as i mentioned in another reply this kernel has been running stable for weeks/months. I didn't change a thing except for running a dselect update and letting it install the packages which needed updating. Something i, and i assume most others runnig SID, do every day. cheers, Willem At 09:59 1-11-2003 -0600, you wrote:
In the future: Get sufficient disk space - HDD's certainly are cheap now. Get partimage and save your partition to disk before doing drastic things.I run 5 Debian partitions and on the current one with Backstreet Ruby, the multiseat-Linux, I wanted to see if openoffice would read pdf files.But if not, then I don't want it.So I saved the partition, apt-getted openoffice.org, tested it and restored the saved partition.Faultless.
