I've been looking at the Twiki about restoring broken systems. I began downloading the systemrestore CD, but it is going to take over 10 hours on my dialup modem, and I doubt I would have the skills/knowledge to use

in that case the best could be to have a separate home partition and a backup of your data on an external harddisk/CD/DVD and reinstall.

I've made the systemrescuecd anyway :-) Probably need to look at sperate home partition on next install ... sometime in the future

it. Also , at present if I crashed my system, or it crashed, I don't have another to get advice from mailing lists. As I don't have a lot of valuable data, maybe it is not helpful for me to have such tools? My computer is not used for business, and any work stuff is printed. Advice appreciated - thanks

you can use a LiveCD as long as your hardware works.

Hmmm ...

kind regards philippe

Thanks
