You configure settings create an ISO burn it to dvd boot to it. Enter rescue mode. if you want full system recovery - bare metal.... cd /etc/recovery ./start-restore.sh if you want single filesystem restore.... ./clone-dsk.sh And ofcourse you can still do it all manually and extract from the tar files stored on the dvd. its all documented. http://mkcdrec.sourceforge.net Regards, Les Stott ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
