In both cases, it depends on what was wrong. Just "getting it running" temporarily with sys (DOS), or by redoing LILO (linux) may or may not be a real fix. Your EXACT words (not clipped) were "With Linux, maybe because of the more powerful os, when it crashes it has been impossible to remount the drive with another distro to recover my own work on it." There are any number of ways of mounting a filesystem, and they're largely distribution INDEPENDENT. It IS NOT impossible, and "the more powerful os" is hardly a limitation. You do NOT have to re-install to recover files (nor to repair in most cases). To imply that a specific distribution can only be recovered using that same distribution is irresponsible and misleading. If you're not sure, ASK. As to copying Netscape settings, that's another topic. - Bob To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
