It's bookbags now. The saved money didn't go to the books.

Yes, you can do this from the 5.x floppies. The deal with snap restore was to make it 'easier' for people, although you still have to reboot the box (and you don't really physically need a floppy to do a 'floppy boot'), so it seems to be a minor difference to me. Hoever,

you can revert a specific volume only to a previous CP - I can't remember if you can do that from the floppy menu.
