Yeah, what Simon meant was that these are hardware-specific things that are set during install/use, which make an Ubuntu install harder to 'port' to different hardware... one of the things that has traditionally been a great strength of Debian (in particular, but also some other distros). A cute way of 'cloning' Ubuntu machines is the OEM installer, originally built for box pushers, but very useful for any disk cloning mass install requirement. - Jeff -- Ubuntu Live 2007: Portland, OR, USA http://www.ubuntulive.com/ "It's like having someone say to you, 'You should get back together with your first wife.
