You might > also be using /usr/local. in agreement with above, and in addition, to find your configuration files, you can use; 'find / -anewer /root/install.log -print | sort > my.new.files' to find all files newer than when passwd was built. then; 'grep "/etc/" my.new.files > my.new.etc.files' 'grep "/home/" my.new.files > my.new.home.files' 'grep "/usr/local/" my.new.files > my.new.usr.local.files' 'grep "/var/" my.new.files > my.new.var.files' granted, you will have files created with new dates that you will not want, but you can go thru 'my.*.files' and edit them out. then you will have a file/files to use for input to your backup. after you edit 'my.new.files', or 'my.*.files' you can back up new files you want to save with; 'cat my.*.files | cpio -p -adm /path/to/save/to' see: 'man cat', 'man cpio', 'man find', 'man grep', 'man sort'. just a suggestion, you may rather use a gui backup program, either way, you will have to eliminate non configuration files. -- peace out. tc,hago. g . **** in a free world without fences, who needs gates. ** help microsoft stamp out piracy - give linux to a friend today ** to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it; to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look at* it. ** learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'LDP HOWTO-index' http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/index.html 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ ****
