Hi,
I remind there was an incremental backup which I used to run in cron,
doing good job of making daily, weekly and monthly backups of deltas.
I could not find the name of this, it was available from packages as far as I
remember
and created directory trees to the dates filled in with only modi
Hi,
I found it, there exist glastree which is available from ports.
Nice small "poor man's" backup as the author qualifies,
though makes incremental backup through hard links:
# if yesterday does not exist or today is newer, copy the file
# else hard link the file to yesterday
Always the right one

Hi Eric,
You'll find how to install OpenBSD following FAQ pretty easily.
After install, you'll be able to add packages (install software) with a
simple internet connection.
You'd have to install for example XFCE, Thunderbird, Firefox, Chromium.
OpenBSD base install does includes a set of GUI
ed to. See:
https://github.com/openbsd/ports/blob/master/www/mozilla-firefox/pkg/README
And for XFCE:

Guess it did a pretty standard response, it's not really saying as much
as the FAQ does so long as i'm concerned. Faq and man pages better
starting point.

Hi,
I forgot to tell you more sure, however the crystal ball worked very well.
It's a 12M ADSL that works at approximately 1300 ko/s at max speed.
When downloading with a browser a client such as filezilla it works at full
speed but when I type ftp and use OBSD's one it is rather 350/380 max nev
It looks like filezilla uses several transfert at the same time to reach
1Mo/s however each transfert is ~400Ko/s as for OpenBSD's FTP client.
Maybe the bandwith limit per file transfered is limited from the server side
?
Is there any way to make multiple transferts at the same time with mget

Anathae,
I hope to clarify this subject one last time :
This is not the way I installed the OSes in here.
I just removed the other disks when installing windows the mbr code is in
the very same disk that windows is (OpenBSD calls it sd1 and Linux sdb).
For sd2(sdc) the very same applies, I just
I finally saw that in the very first steps of the install procedure, the
type of partition ID of assigned install disk is set to A6 overwriting from
the original value (in my case for NTFS this is 0x86 I assume) preventing to
boot what was the original system on that disk.
Changing to the original
Finally this is due to a subtle disk failure.
While other systems could install and work, OpenBSD crashes at first boot,
which is in my sense a more sane behaviour.
