If do-able (cost and somewhere to plug in), a second drive is a good way around this kind of thing. Unplug the existing drive, do fresh install(s) onto the new drive. Experiment away. Then plug in the old drive, and copy any data over that you want (leave the original drive in its original condition). -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
