Surely there is a better way - I have a living to make and reformatting 6+
gig drives and reinstalling 30+ major packages and 100+ minor bits and
pieces not to mention all the upgrades and add-ons since originals came out
is just not feasible.
I would really appreciate an alternative approach if there is one. If there
is not that would be good to know too - i can live with a three minute
boot - gives me time to get a fresh cup of coffee :)
