I have run into problems doing this, even on similar hardware. I swapped a drive from a Dell Dimension 3000 (P4 HT 800MHz FSB 865 chipset) to a Dimension 4500S (P4 non-HT 400MHz FSB 845 chipset) with different NICs, sound, etc. I had to disable rhgb to get kudzu to finish; kudzu running in the text window in rhgb locked up; kudzu on a plain text console didn't. This was CentOS 4, BTW, and I did it just four days ago. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu
