First copy the files and then wipe your hard disk :) Copying the files with k3b will disable the "write" flag. To keep the original file perms do a tar back up to a file and then write that file to a CD. To restore extract the files from the tar file. -- Arun Khan Linux is like a wigwam - no gates, no windows, apache inside -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
