Thank you again. |

On a different subject. Do you have a good pointer on how to backup a system. |
| 28 |
I just had a HD crash so I selected a replacement SSD and I'm re installing the software. |
| 29 |
I had backup of /etc/ and /home but I've missed all other settings eg: |
| 30 |
/boot/ kernel config and other files and are not in /etc directory like: hylafax setting etc. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Is there a way to keep backup of all those configuration files that are manually edited? |
