I did a dump of all of my important file systems like /, /usr /var and /home and gzipped them. I was lucky and all of them fit onto 700MB CDs. Now i have a question: When my system gets really unusable how should i restore it? Is there a boot floppy for a really minimal FreeBSD which contains fdisk, restore *and* gunzip? Or would you rely on a rescue CD and where would you get one from? I think a linux rescue CD will not work for that. Thanks for any hints in advance. With kind regards Martin. -- The early bird catches the worm. If you want something else for breakfast, get up later.
