Wouldn't it be easier to just shift your HDD from an i586 box to an i686 box?? ;-) | then can linux be upgraded to the i686 arch. and will it configure itself |to the changes it the hardware?? or else, will i have to install linux from |scratch, It'll work fine.. a little config will be needed after booting Just ensure that the hard disk with linux on it remains in the same position as it was when linux was installed... (normally hda) ... I had a real heart stopping moment... when I tried booting into a disk that had fstab entries that pointed to another position.. and saw it attempting to mount the / partition of the other hard disk as *swap* !! And remmeber to boot into the system using the stock kernel that shipped with the distro.. or atleast a kernel that has all the drivers for the new hardware (mobo/sound/video/network etc) Kingsly _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
