About to blow away X, what do I need to backup?

[Tim Wunder]

Well, that *is* an option. I've got a spare partition that I'm planning 
(someday) to use to install a distro to replace the eW3.1 I'm currently 
running. (Although, as much as I've updated this thing, I guess I really 
can't call it eW3.1 anymore -- maybe I'll call it eW-TW3.1+. ) But, for now, 
backup and go was the path of least resistance.

Regards,
Tim

(Woo-Hoo - X finally finished compiling -- time to really f'up my system :-))
