I am currently turning an older box into a new Mandrake 8 system. I have Mandrake 7 on a server which is already running smoothly.. and I want to keep it that way, thus I don't want to "upgrade" the Mandrake 7 because I might end up breaking something in the process. So I plan on replacing the 7 box with the 8 box once I am sure the 8 box works properly as my business server, then turning the 7 box into an 8. What I want to do is transfer the vital files, the files I know I need, from 7 to 8. My first thought was FTP, but then I got to wondering if there is a better method for copying specified files from 7 to 8. Should I purchase Norton Ghost for this simplest of needs, or is there something smaller and more convenient (free) out there? Also, does anyone know where the heck inetd.conf went in Mandrake 8? I looked at xinetd.conf, but there isn't much there. I'm a bit confused. Thanks. james
