13 It does to me. I want to keep things so that if there is a problem, I
14 know how to fix it or can at least get to a point that I can get help on
15 it. If LVM fails and I can't boot, then I loose everything on LVM
16 because I would have to reinstall from scratch. If it fails just on my
17 data stuff, I can get help and fix it because I can still boot up and
18 get to my email program. Also, I have the important stuff backed up to
19 DVD. I would only loose things that I can download again. I would just
20 rather avoid that and I'm sure AT&T would agree. That's a lot of
21 downloading.
