Move from K to U

[David Hopkins]

Well obvioulsy I wouldnt want to restore to an already broken system!
But if I was trying out something risky I would be nice to have a way
to backup all system setup files then try it out, if it all went belly
you could just type one command and go back. I think the
backup/restore facility that comes with Suse can do this.
