Defintely needed that, Craig! Long time no see! Decided to give
Feora a break. :-)

You know, I need to make me a "bare metal restore" DVD set.
I've seen on the web where one can do that w/o too much
trouble. At least I have backups just a few days old for
all my data, and I've put /home on its own disc, so no
real danger.

At least my old bonehead had enough in it to get some kind
of /dev enough to boot and ask questions here without having
to install another version of Linux.

To all who responded

THANKS!

Mike
