I posted the origional question.  I know it shouldn't have any back
doors, but if any did exist, it would save me reinitializing my hard
drive from my backups.  70+ Megs from floppy to hard drive is no fun
task.  I guess right now, I would be willing to overlook a possible
security problem :( to be able to fix my hard drive :) without having 
reinitialize it :( .

I guess this is proving that the Jasmine partitions are more secure
then I origionally thought.
