I suppose I could do the same thing using a partition on one of my existing hard disks. I could set up a /test partition and install a "clean" distro there. Then when i get ready to update a package I can install it and test it in my /test environment before overwriting my production system. I'll have to do some research on this as I don't actually know how to do it yet but it seems simple enough :-) Greg __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
