Re: [MLUG] bootdisk & bzip2

[yoda <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I suppose I should've explained myself better. This is on a slackware machine, I
made some tar.bz2 files of the directory structure (backup) on hda2, then
reformatted hda1 to be reiserfs.

Nevermind, I just looked at one of the mirrors. There are five things listed in
disks: bootdisk, i386, modules, modules2, and rescue.

I'll check it out. Thanks.
