Re: moving hard drive to new machine

["P. George" <invest@xxxxxxxx>]

i'm not sure that would help.  for me (and i mean no offense to anyone 
by this), configuring linux is a mind-numbing, hair-losing exercise in 
tediosity.  each little thing i add/configure takes hours of reading 
and trial-and-error to get to work.  i'm sure i could never figure out 
which dozens of extra doodads to re-install, what compilation arguments 
to compile them with, and how to set them up properly.  it's just too 
much.

i must figure out a solution that simply replaces whatever is not 
matching up with the new motherboard/cpu.

it can't be that uncommon of a thing to need to do.

maybe your original suggestion will do this.  i'm kind of thinking it 
will, but i need to be sure.  does anyone else know for sure if running 
"upgrade" from the redhat install cd will screw up all the things i've 
added/configured on this installation?

ps:  in the meantime, i'm gonna boot from the cd and see what it says.  
maybe the answer is in there.
