Hi all,

What's the best way to take over an old document.  I'd like to do a complete re-write of ''Linux-Complete-Backup-and-Recovery-HOWTO''. Would it be better to write an entirely new document while giving attribution to the original document and it's owner or edit the existing document and wiping out huge amounts of existing text that is no longer viable today (e.g. backing up with zip drives, etc.)?

Jason
