Exactly! :-) > (I suspect that someone like Carlos E will be able to dredge up from his > extensive archives the appropriate messages which provided the "fix" > which the OP could apply to overcome his problem.) I'll keep my fingers crossed. As an alternative I will have to fire up my old Celeron 400 Mhz with 128 MB ram (which I guess will not run recent versions of SuSE), and use it as a backup media (scp over ethernet). Speaking of which: Is the a size limit for a tar-file? (can I make one big tar of my entire /home ~ around 15 - 30 GB depending of how much I clean up). Loking very much forward to the 10.3 upgrade - and to a better backup routine :-) Best, Janus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
