-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Carlos,
¿Serial? ¿Parallel? Er... I hope you have lots of patience... and I mean _lots_.
X'-)
Well, I like to think I'm a patient sort of person. :-) Seriously, I know the serial/parallel route would be slow, but I'm not backing up very much data (just /home so I can restore my data after upgrading to SuSE v9.1) so it wouldn't be too bad. I have been looking into USB, and the laptop I'm using does support USB v1. My main concern is finding a solution that SuSE v8 Pro and my laptop will work with and I don't want to spend the money on a USB device just to find out that I wont be able to get it to work, at least with a serial/parallel based solution I know I'll be able to make it fly. At this point I'm considering getting a USB HDD enclosure and putting a spare 20GB IDE HDD in it and trying that. I can get the enclosure for around $50 so it wont be a huge investment. Right now money is tight so I'm being fairly conservative on what I'm willing to try. Thanks for the feedback.
