Hello,

Just a small suggestion with the File Restoration Backup and Restore feature.

Could you make it ask if your sure you want to Backup/Restore.

You can imagine the frustration of accedently pressing restore instead of backup when in a hurry :P

Im not sure if the restore from the flux menu is the same as the one run at boot when you do a knoppix restore, but i think it would be a tiny bit of a pain to press yes at boot..
(sorry, i try not to get picky)

I would imagine this would be a easy task, and I beleive its feasible in terms of creating a little bit more user friendly DSL.

Cheers

That's great idea...some question like " If you realy want to restore press R !" and "If you realy want to backup press B !"

I agree Modrak, that's heaps better then a simple yes. That way you have yet another fail safe.

What I mean to say is. You have accedently pressed Backup but you press restore then pressing B will do nothing, and you will go "eh??? ohhh wow that was close nearly lost everything i worked on!!!".

(sorry I tend to ramble)

Cheers.
