That's why I think it's a good idea to partition a drive with at least 2 partitions: one for the OS, the other for the apps. A third one could be useful for OS 9. Then, if you need to re-install the OS, you just make a backup of your home directory and there you go. -Laurent. -- =========================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************* Usual disclaimers apply ************************* gnubie /noo'bee/ n.: Written-only variant of newbie in common use on IRC channels, which implies specifically someone who is new to the Linux/open-source/free-software world. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
