Hey Lonnie, Thanks for underlining Michael's comments and adding your thoughts about the "/etc/rc.modules" file. Your note arrived with perfect timing, just as I was firing up the Jetway box server for the first time.
This is really a slick little machine! The review and detailed writeup in the Wiki made this a snap. Take care, Dan -----Original Message----- From: Lonnie Abelbeck [mailto:li...@lonnie.abelbeck.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 3:31 PM To: AstLinux Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] Backup => Restore to Different Platform? Hi Dan, In addition to the "70-persistent-net.rules" file as Michael pointed out, you may (or many not) have a "/etc/rc.modules" file, you will need the "e1000e" line uncommented for your NF99FL-525. Personally I prefer the geni586-serial version, but the geni586 (VGA) will work fine if you prefer a video console.

Presuming I start by installing the Generic i586 (VGA) image on the Jetway, is it permissible to simply use ssh to copy the Soekris' asturw file tree to the new machine? If so, this would be a brain-dead simple way to migrate to the different hardware.
