289937 2004-11-10 09:09:00 Ya know Chill it's interesting how you end each thread with a comment on what your running on your linux box. :p

With linux and something stuffs up and you need to reinstall the OS, what can you copy/paste to retain/backup all your settings/drivers?

I know people spend hours n hours customising their linux boxes, but what happens when you have to reinstall...

289938 2004-11-10 09:17:00 Easy, linux is modular not monolithic, that helps when things go wrong, just as much as with security (the two are related, which some vendors have yet to grasp) as for data. For eg, if you home directory is on a seperate partition and you completely toast your /root most, if not all, your preference files will be ok along with your user data. Even if it's not on a separate partition you'll be doing very well to toast the core of the OS, it's more likely your personal stuff will go first if you've been a total idiot, ah hum!...... like someone I know :D
