Why should I? I boot single-user mode from an emergency boot/root floppy, and then restore my shared libs etc. from tape backups. Booting from boot/root floppy might take a few seconds longer than from harddisk single-user, but that does not matter much. It is only intended for *emergencies*, which are not supposed to happen every day. I estimate it takes 30s extra, 3 times a year. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Peter Mutsaers | Abcoude (Utrecht), | "Memento Mori" plm@xs4all.nl | the Netherlands |
