(I always backup my partitions to an external drive. I've had hard disk crashes and external backups saved my butt.)

Hi @codecutr,
Would not be necessary to do so... my /home, where my snapshot lives, in ,/repo, and my stuff lives, in ./alex, is independent from /boot and from /...
it is mounted in /dev/sda3... so I can just blast away /boot -> /dev/sda1, / -> /dev/sda2, reinstall arch without harming anything... anyway, i have dvds ( 6 at all ) with the snapshot in repo... but this ( reinstalling ) was precisely what i was trying to avoid...
But thx anyway...
@kgas, Thx, I will try that...
BRGDS
