Yeah, thank goodness for snapshots :O Running replica/pull didn't turn out
so good for my current running system. It looks like it might make the most
sense to just archive my home directory and reload a fresh VM ...
Where are they keeping the most current installation ISO these days? I'm
just not sure of what's canonical now that the old bell-labs.com domain is
offline.
Thanks!
Sean
