HELP HELP FAQ!!! FAQ!!

This is from David Williams the FAQ author. Being foolish I tried to install Solaris 8 on my PC without a backup even though I recently bought a 14Gb external HP tape drive for backups and recently bought a CD burner but never took backups..Arrgh my PC got wiped as Solaris 8 a) Failed to install b) My partitions were Small C Drive Small Empty (originally to boot Linux <1024 cylinders) 7Gb D: Drive with Windows + potential FAQ updated on it Large Empty (for the rest of Solaris) This became Small C Drive Large D Drive Arrgh! Solaris MOVED my D drive and then failed to install!! Even tried to move the D Drive back to where I think it was (C: + the empty small partition were the same size I think) NO JOY Whole PC trashed..... I booted a Linux disk and did dd'ed the first 8Gb | strings | grep for at least 3 consective letters into a file on my second hard drive (40Gb Dos Drive!!) I probably have all the potential FAQ updates in this 155Mb file but this will be very hard to search. My PC has 256Mb of RAM so I can boot Linux and vi the file but searching 600,000 lines will be hard!! HELLLLLLLLLLLLLP! If you have e-mailed me updates then send them to me at smooth1@iclway.co.uk. My normal ISP (Demon Internet), well I don't have an install CD as my original software came on floppies (I'm a long time Demon customer) and I have moved house a lot. As an ICL employee I can use the iclway address so please send FAQ updated to me there! I will search www.deja.com for the word FAQ and so most stuff which people have asked for WILL be added. Johnathon I remember something about outer joins. Also someone (George V??) wanted their e-mail changed. Please resend to smooth1@iclway.co.uk. PS I even recently bought a book entitled UNIX Backup and Recovery. PS Don't say a word...this happened last Saturday and I have been downloading software ever since. Thank God for www.gozilla.com. I've downloaded about 926Mb and >1500 files. PPS Now to a) burn CD's b) Backup to Tape c) Reinstall everything...
