[ale] RE: mandrake upgrade (Herman, Izzie)

[Robert E. Karaffa, II]

durn web-based e-mail client!  i wasn't finished w/ my reply when i hit "enter"
and "tab" to start a new paragraph...and off went the note!
    Van, /var is the single most important part of our linux installation.  our
web server runs an online-scheduling app upon which our clients rely heavily
(you should hear them bitch when it isn't available...).  From how i've seen
diskdrake work, it would appear that everything gets moved.  Am i potentially
missing something?
