I'm not surprised, I do something similar. Either pull out the HDD, make a new install, replace the HDD and pull the old data from it onto the new HDD, and put the old HDD on the shelf as the backup. Or, a new install goes onto a new computer. By the time I get around to doing an install, the newer OS is too bloated for the old hardware, being too slow or simply impossible to run, and an upgrade becomes a downgrade. This has been my experience with Linux and Windows. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
