I'm afraid that if I power down my server and reboot the new one that it won't work. Then I could be disconnected from the "real-world" (koff-koff) for days or weeks.

If you [[Or *Anybody*]] has any better starting place, I'm open to any ideas... . gary PS: I'll be up-front and add this before I send: I would rather avoid damaging my knees by getting up/down and messing around on the floor! -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.31a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php
