1 So far, I have a stage 2 install with 2.6.12-r9, wireless (ipw2100), intel
2 modem (compiled in) and alsa (compiled in) on a dell inspiron 8600. All is
3 functioning well.

5 I have the basic system installed and updated on my laptop.
6 Aside from the problem of the splash, everything seems to be well.
7 I'm wondering what direction to go next?
8
9 I'd like a good backup solution w/boot capability, but mondo is right out!
10 It's too flaky at the moment.
11 I'd like to get a backup of the system at this stage before adding a desktop
12 environment, so that I have somewhere to go back to in case of a bork
13 (either from software or operator error)
14
15 I'm also thinking that some security would be in order here (anti-virus at
16 least, but I've also read about others like port sentry, iptables, etc).
17
18 As always, any input is greatly appreciated.
