Well, in theory, it should work that way and I have had Mandrake boxes do just that but there might be some additional tweaks needed after the fact as well...like video setup etc. Most can be handled via MCC though some config. file tweaks might also be required. It should be a fairly smooth transition overall. Please post results on list if possible.
I was gonna boot first time into non-fb, and run maintenance, editing things like XF86Config-4 to get video working. Whole thing might not go ahead yet...depends on finances (or lack of)...
PS, is it possible to remove your reply to header for proper list munging please?
I'm not too familiar with 'munging' and other terminology. How does that work, and why does a spamblocker cause issues?

Hi there,
I hope to buy an upgrade package from somewhere like Computer Broker. It will consist of an ATX mobo (KT400 chipset), AthlonXP 2000+/2400+ (haven't decided which yet), 300W ATX case, and 256MB DDR333 RAM... Oh, and a GeForceFX 5600 (maybe an Ultra if price is right).
I will use the CD-ROM and 20GB hard disk from my current box. The disk is loaded with Mandrake 9.1. My question is can I just transplant the disks over to the new PC, start it and let the new hardware daemon take care of any "oh crikey, this wasn't the hardware I booted on last time!" issues with Mandrake?
Any advice is welcome...
