All other relevant system components will stay the same (including the HDD and any data on it).I just wondered if Fedora can accomodate the new hardware directly, or if there are any procedures I should go through after booting again? Could a reinstall be needed? I am guessing I will not have a problem booting, since Grub is installed on the MBR of the drive, and I believe the new MB will search this first for a bootloader.Thanks in advance for all help! > -- Best, > Christopher Svanefalk > > > I pretty much do this every day. I have FC 16 installed on an external hard drive. I have a system at home and a system at work that are both set up to boot from an external drive. The work system has an Intel i3 CPU, Intel graphics, etc. The home system has an AMD Athlon CPU, ATI graphics, etc. Not sure about the sound hardware but the work system is from 2005 while the work system is recent so little likelihood it's the same. About the only part that's not transparent is I have to run xrandr after I startx to get things to display on the right monitors. Carrying the external hard drive between locations definitely beats lugging a system back and forth.
