Having seen all the problems reported by members of this list concerning
4.0 makes me very happy that I still have my Redhat 3.0.3 CDROM.
This brings me to my question. I have been presuming that I if things
go wrong in my upgrading to 4.0, I can always go back to 3.0.3. I have
not been backing up my standard system files, presuming that I have them
on the CDROM. Have people seen CDROM's get corrupted? I haven't yet.
In the old days of tapes, one always backed everything up over and over
again on different tapes just in case. What is the current thinking
about this?
Any comments?
TIA,
-sen
