You have to use the "rockridge extensions" when creating the ISO in order to preserve these details. Like someone else mentioned before, I would create a .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 archive of your home directory and then put that on the CD (in ISO format). Otherwise, if all you have is the plain old .iso and you've already wiped out the original, then just be ready to chown and chmod the files as necesarry. -- Steve Feehan</blockquote><div> Many thanks for that info Steve. Follow up: clean install has happened. nmap showed once again an open port that I did not expect: </div> </div>(The 1660 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE SERVICE 25/tcp open smtp 631/tcp open ipp 32770/tcp open sometimes-rpc3 Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.296 seconds This is despite having configured Bastille, and shutting down services as far as reasonable. I wonder if there is not a residual backdoor being left open? Any ideas on this? (BTW scanning other addresses shows no open ports or unexpected services) Best wishes Brian
