List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi One disadvantage to using zipslack on a zip drive is the slow slow speeds from the lpt port, I ran zipslack on a zip drive for a while when my laptop's hard drive was being repaired and it was incredably slow, booting took over 2 minutes, and emacs took a while too.. If you can manage this, I'd buy an extra hard drive and then nightly mirror your current setup on it, so add another hard drive to your server and only use it to be mirrored everyday, then if your machine ever dies than swap out the hard drive in your other linux box and replace it with your server's hard drive back up, and then hen ever your server gets replaced or fixed just copy your back up hard drive to your new server's hard drive and then you do not have to do all that stuff that goes with setting up and preconfiguring a new system. ----- Patrick Turnage E-mail: pturnage@tampabay.rr.com AOL Instant Messenger: kg4dqk Home Page: http://www.access-connect.com
