Yes, Linux will reconfigure itself when booted with different hardware. You can face two problems 1) Your installation might not have drivers for some piece of hardware on new machine. 2) X server might need reconfiguration at times. Apart from these two problems, most of the work goes smoothly. Also, you can try installing knoppix on external drive. Knoppix hardware detection is still a black magic. regards VK -- The hidden harmony is better than the obvious!! -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
