In fighting this battle I described earlier (and copied to this thread just to have a point of reference), I just remembered I did a backup on Thursday night. I did a "multiple partition" backup (ie. I have a ton of files--probably around 700--in some subdirectory under /tmp that all are about the size of a diskette). I just had a thought that I would love (if it's possible and won't take like 10 hours).
1)Could I somehow restore the backup that I did through the Yast GUI without having windowed (KDE) environment?
2)Does anybody know if this works well?
I am internally debating whether to re-install everything from the SuSE disks, but obviously I'd prefer to restore my previous stable system.
Thanks, Tom
The text based version of YaST should work. Not as easy as the gui but it works. Ken
