Hey,

  I've been using RH 6.0 for about a year & a half now (had used
RH 5.0 on a dual-boot box at a job I'd had when the 5.0 was
released too) & will be switching to LM 7.2 (the Complete's on
back-order right now from CheapBytes).

  Though I'd found that my hardware all seems to be supported, I
wonder about some files.  This box is a Dell with a P-III 500
(which had come pre-installed with RH 6.0), the most important
part here concerns the video card.  Since RH 6.0 didn't support
the Diamond Viper 770, they'd rewitten the XF86Config file to do
so.  They'd copied the file to four different places on the hard
drive & had numerous docs (on paper as well) warning that this
file has to be copied to disk if the system is reinstalled &
copied back after boot or, naturally, no gui.

  Would I want to keep a copy of the XF86Config?  Would it work
properly with the newer version of XF86 in LM 7.2?

  Also, I should think that my home config files should work. 
I'm thinking of like .bash_profile & .bashrc -- maybe even
/etc/bashrc -- dir_colors, colorsrc, etc.

  Any advice on this stuff?

  Meph
