are you able to move files between the m$ computer and the linux computer? if so then i'd say you should be fine, cuz I do that with my laptop, i have moved my /home directory to the fat partition and then burned from there. anyway unless you hear otherwise it's worth a try. mike betty wrote: (if you cannot tolerate stupid questions please ignore this post.) it seems that i should be able from X to copy /home to my share files that i share on my own network with my m$ computer that has the dvd burner on it, then go to the m$ computer can burn a dvd of /home. would that work? thanks for any help. betty i. -- www.webcanine.com information for people who care for dogs --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
