The below got amlabel working, thanks. I'm not done, but i'm making
progress. I'll post another question if i get stuck.
I didn't realize when i started on the Amanda install that i could just use
nfs to mount my second PC, and back up both my PCs at once with tar. Any
reason not to do it this way, besides the security issue of having to load
nfsd on my internet-connected PC?
thx alot,
