To speed up installs, I've put all my mods to a base install under /home for years and used symbolic links in their place.... e.g. /etc/hosts -> /home/hosts /etc/hosts.allow -> /home/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny -> /home/hosts.deny That makes reinstalls of Ubuntu much faster. All that is needed is to backup /home. It even works pretty good when you move to a new distro version since much doesn't change such as format of /etc/hosts. .... Beyond that, if you don't want NFS, all I can think of is massive pushes and pull from/to the mothership with hg when you travel to stay synced and backed up. cs -- KPLUG-List@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
