Hi all, Well, I still haven't quite worked out my upgrade to 10.3. I'm hoping this coming week might be the big moment. I have a few questions first, if I may impose on people's kindness a little further. 1) I'm still having trouble making a really convincing backup. I've made a disk image, in multiple sections, and am tolerably confident of that. However, I'd really like to have a file-level archive of some kind also, as I figure it will be easier to restore user data from. But the problem is that I'm backing up onto a FAT formatted USB drive (and I'd prefer to leave the formatting alone if possible). The problem is that if I use tar, cpio, etc. to retain all the Unix filesystem features (owners, permissions, links, etc.) the resulting archive is too big (2GB file limit on the FAT drive). So, the question here is how can I persuade one of these tools to split the archive into chunks when writing to a filesystem. (I can make tar split, but so far it always uses the the same output filename, so all I ever get is the last chunk!) I did notice that "pax" looks to have more comprehensive options, but I've not been able to see how to make that do the job either. 2) What's the position with 10.3 w.r.t. the usual sources of "interest", i.e. video, audio and especially wireless lan?
