Why floppy size?

YEAH, I KNOW. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE SYSTEM BACKUP WOULD BE JUST A FEW MEGS AND THUS A FEW FLOPPIES. I WENT TO THE STORE, CAME BACK AND "HOLY...." WAS THE FIRST THING OUT OF MY MOUTH. LIVE AND LEARN.

You could have repeated the backup.

Try mc (midnight commander). It is possible to open each tgz and copy the contents elsewhere.

ARE YOU SUGGESTING I OPEN ALL 700?

Yessss.... O:-) Once you figure the structure, you can automate it and expand them all with tar, and perhaps a script. Then you can create a single file with the same structure, and feed it Yast. Or play with Yast till you convince it to work. -- Saludos Carlos Robinson
