[CS-FSLUG] Copying laptop harddrive contents

Some of you might remember back when I was trying to get the contents of 
dad's laptop's hard drive backed up onto another computer, unfortunately 
he decided to wait a long time before changing the distribution on it 
and since then I've lost the backup.

I know how to copy the files over with scp however his laptop is not 
taking an IP address, I tried assigning it one with hostname 
192.168.0.201 and it took the ip address but when I try to ping it no 
connection is made. Both computers have access to the internet so I 
don't know what the problem could be.

The laptop is running Debian woody, I've also got a SLAX live Cd that 
should have worked on it but version of LILO it uses to boot didn't want 
to run properly, I have no idea what to do now so I'm hoping some of you 
will have ideas.

The Danger of Peacemaker

By Timothy R. Butler

Here is a story. The leaders of a church have a personal agenda against someone and want to quiet him, exact revenge or what have you. They not only come at him within their church, they continue by following him outside of that church to any other church he seeks refuge at and any place he works, making a wreck of his life in the process. That is the sort of thing that only happened in the past, in dusty tales of witch-hunts in Salem or the Inquisition in Spain, right? Wrong: it is happening today, perhaps at a seemingly normal church near you.
