I bought a used copy of A/UX about six months ago, and I am tired of having someone elses peferences, etc on the system. Is there a way to build a new copy of A/UX from an old one so that the new one will be completely default settings and will have no user defined prefs? I would be real appreciative of any info (this is probably related to the question that was posted a bit ago about copying A/UX to a new hard drive). On another note, what is the consensus about Jan Harrington's new book on A/UX. (Jan, you can answer if you want, but I will of course take your slight bias into account :-)). I am interested in it because I too did not get any manuals when I bought the copy of A/UX. Does Jan's book tell enough about the peculiarities of the Apple implementation of Unix that using that book and the regular Unix references, a person can get by? Anyway, anything anyone can tell me would be greatly appreciated. advaTHANKSnce David
