Hi!
I am wanting to install Linux on my PC.
I would be new to installing Linux.
How would anyone suggest I back up my system to restore the system should
anything go wrong during installing Linux?
I ask because I am not sure which bits of hardware I might have problems
with.
Also would my authorisation key for JFW be backed up so I could restore it
if anything should go wrong.
Hope someone could answer these questions for me.
