[snip] I have once done a move to completely new hardware(486-Pentium). The only thing I found necessary to do is recompile kernel. All the binaries ran perfect after I recompiled kernel. But I took an old drive and put it into new machine. I guess you would need to install a minimal system, and put your drives into new system and copy stuff off them. It should work just fine. Andrei
