I've spent long sleepless nights before fixing the system.ini file after
moving programs from C:\Program Files to D:\Prog. Luckily, I had a
utility to rename most references that went to my CD-ROM drive after it
changed letters. In Linux, such a thing isn't necessary since drives
are referred to by their real names, not by arbitrary letters. Still,
if I switch my master and slave drives, Linux might get confused since
what was /dev/hda is now /dev/hdb. This should never actually happen in
the course of running Linux (only when trying to make an optimal
installation).
Guys, I'm sorry if I'm deluging your mailboxes with my letters, but I
have many letters to reply to. You can always delete them if you're not
interested.
