First, "." just means "the current directory", so for a program on the root disk "./private" is the same as "/private".

You can back up all the user directories and then restore them after a clean install. That's what I'd recommend. I would also recommend partitioning the drive, with a system partition in the first 8G and a user partition containing the rest... and a bootable OS 9 install in both partitions. There are scripts on the net for moving the users to a separate partition. -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:" Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
