Thank you again. 
On a different subject.  Do you have a good pointer on how to backup a system.
I just had a HD crash so I selected a replacement SSD and I'm re installing the software.
I had backup of /etc/ and /home but I've missed all other settings eg:
/boot/ kernel config and other files and are not in /etc directory like: hylafax setting etc.

Is there a way to keep backup of all those configuration files that are manually edited?
