Hello Roy.

That is more or less what my /mnt/archives is.  I also use that to package
things, etc.  A nifty idea methinks.

 RT> Yeah,  same here.

:-)  We're really looking for trouble aren't we?

That doesn't matter since the PC/104 power supply I have will output both
12V and 5V.  Most of the stuff requires 5V but I havve run across a few 12V
stuff.  A nonissue here.  :-)

Yep.  No rush on this.  ext3 works here so I am not complaining about it.

Me too.  ext3 works for now.  We'll see ... along with doing a backup eh?  ;-)
