I think this is probably the best way, because I think (maybe) with upgrading you
|
|
do not always automatically get the latest feature enabled in some config file
|
|
because RH would rather take it easy and not update that config file (you get a
|
|
rpmnew instead of rpmsaved file) so they get less calls to support that way.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, I have tons of media files in /home/* probably 5 to 10 gigs at least, my
|
|
laptop's CDROM takes 700MB at a time (obviously) and compressing media files is
|
|
dumb because they are already compressed. Dumb question: how to backup huge data?
|
|
Network backup to another box? I do not have a box with a tape drive, but maybe box
|
|
with a large HD with much free space could take the backup (oops, I do not have a
|
|
space computer with a large HD with much free space).
|
|
|
|
These media files are backed up - ON THE CD'S THEY CAME FROM! Yes I learned that
|
|
used CDs make inexpensive backup copy on the shelf. I do not want to re-rip all
|
|
this crap again.

That's "angle" as in geometry.
