Recovering the 250 Gig Hard Drive...

[Eric]

Alfred,

If I were in your particular place (high-speed internet being a problem),
I'd be inclined to find out if there's a way to backup the apps you've
installed...Preferably to get the apt-get package itself, rather than
anything after unpacking.

(To the list in general: Apt-get must keep a cache somewhere?)
