Marc, Thanks for the info. One question.... In theory, if you were to make these image files when your RaQ was brand spanking new, couldn't you use those images and this procedure to do a "factory new" restore on your machine (should things to terribly awry) without having to purchase and use the >$100 system restore CD from Cobalt?

If you want to restore your disk after an "crash", here's a good solution. First : backup the partition table ==> dd if=/dev/hda of=/mnt/backup/partition.img bs=1024 count=1 Second : backup the first partition ==> dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/mnt/backup/part1.img Third : backup the third partition ==> dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/mnt/backup/part3.img (not hda2 ==> swap) Four : backup the fourth partition ==> dd if=/dev/hda4 of=/mnt/backup/part4.img To restore : 1°)dd if=/mnt/backup/partition.img of=/dev/hda 2°)fdisk /dev/hda , then just type "w" 3°)dd if=/mnt/backup/part1.img of=/dev/hda1 4°)dd if=/mnt/backup/part1.img of=/dev/hda3 5°)dd if=/mnt/backup/part1.img of=/dev/hda4 6°)Don't forget to active /dev/hda1 Marc P.S : don't forget that hard disk must have the same capacity. By example : Raq3 128Mo ==> HDD = 13.2Go Raq3 256Mo ==> HDD = 15.2Go Raq3 512Mo ==> HDD = 20Go -----Message d'origine----- De: Jeff Lasman [mailto:jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Date: vendredi 31 mars 2000 18:05 À: cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Objet: Re: [cobalt-users] Total Newbie, please be patient... I suppose this is as good a time as any to wonder why Cobalt has put "traceroute" into a directory not in even "root"'s path? I mean it's not like it's dangerous or something <wry grin>, is it?
