Typical process runs like this:
=20
1. backup your config (you've done this)
2. make your change on the linux box
3. test
4. remove write-protect tab on floppy (if it's on)
5. run save-config on the linux box which copies all your changes to the
floppy
6. re-engage the write protect tab (if you undid it in step 4)
7. backup the new config (in case floppy fails)

Subject: Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Fwd: Novice


Thank you Bruce. I do have the copy saved on my windows server. Now
should I change the config on the floppy on the windows box or change it
on the linux box. and if I change it on the DL box how do i get to the
floppy drive? When I get to the floppy drive how do i change the file
and does the save config command save it to the floppy? I hate to sound
so stupid but right now I am just not a linux fan ONLY because I do not
know it!!! I want to love it. :-(=20

	The tar.bzip2 file is the entire DL config for that box.  You
can simply=20
	copy that file to another floppy under Windows, and it's backed
up.  You
	can copy it to as many floppies as you want, and use a copy as a
	base/start config in a new DL box.
=09
	When you run 'save-config' on DL, it re-saves it's entire config
to the=20
	single tar.bzip2 file on the floppy.
