I used BRU for incremental and full backups at my last company, easy and=
effective, I have absolutely no complaints with it. We used it to write to=
tape backups.

hi! My name is Avram Aelony, I found your email via linux.org under 
'Boston
Linux and Unix User Group'. I have a linux install question and I am 
hoping
perhaps you can point me in the direction of a reasonable solution.

I have a Red Hat Linux 6.2 Version CD along with a boot disk.
I would like to install linux onto an NEC Versa 2655CD laptop (vintage 
circa
1996) that previously had win95 and has been completely fdisked clean.

With the linux boot floppy and install CD, I get prompted to press 
or text or expert . (At this point, typing by the user 
still
gets displayed onto the screen.)
I have tried the first to choices, the result is the same: things begin to 
load appropriately until a graphic menu displaying language choices for 
the
installation appears. Normally, I would think that a mouse or keyboard 
response would be captured and thus the install could continue with the 
next
screen.

What does occur instead is that user input of any kind (keyboard input, 
mouse movements, shouting, etc..) no longer registers with the laptop 
display screen.
Thus my install attempts are halted there, unable to proceed.

I would very much appreciate any thoughts you might have in helping me 
with
getting past this point & installing Linux.

thanks in advance,
Avram
