Yes.

Well, they were more suggestions than instructions <smile>.  In fact, 
since i'm in the business of consulting to, and supplying contract 
maintenance and administrative services to, RaQ owners, I stand to make 
more money in the long run if no-one follows my advice <smile, again>.

I'd do that.  If you, for some reason, want to keep your disk, then do 
another build, and test on that, or just clone the drive before you do 
the site kill and restore.

And make sure you're working on the test RaQ when you start deleting!
