One other way: mirror the boot/root/install devices (maybe a single partition). You can make, sync, and drop the mirror, install grub on the new mbr and have a clone of the system (basically you'd be in the same situaiton as if the primary drive of a mirrored setup croaked). -- Steven Lembark +1 888 359 3508 Workhorse Computing 85-09 90th St [EMAIL PROTECTED] Woodhaven, NY 11421 -- [email protected] mailing list
