    Thanks.  But neither machine is connected to a LAN (sneaker-net
doesn't count!), and only I have dial-up modem connection.  So I have
removed much of the LAN-only (and VDM tcp/ip) material from both
systems, which is why I can backup each of the two boot drives to a 100
MB Iomega Zip diskette.  I figured out much of this for myself, and got
the rest from Dennis (and others) on this echo.

    Anyway, thanks for reminding me that, in my post to Jack, I again
fell into the common trap of generalizing on my experience with my
specific configurations :-(.

    Regards,
