One of the things I hated about Windows 2000 was that everytime you reinstalled you had to download the huge service patch 2. <snip> What I am hoping is that you can burn [the packages d/l'd by YOU] to cd and then later, when you mess up your machine and have to reinstall, you can update from your backup
Perhaps not the answer you expected, but I never had to reinstall Linux. I can hardly imagine that things are messed up so badly that a reinstall is necessary. You will learn to know better ways to fix it. The only reason for a new install would be a clean install of a new version - but that includes the updates. SH
