Good God. I hope you don't do that more than once a decade. Just how
long can a life be?
Unless he changes hardware while it is shutdown. I don't think the
drivers have ever changed on my system since I built it. I have had to
add a couple, ethernet card and a SATA card, but other than that, it
should be the same.
I have to say tho, booting a CD and doing lspci -k or -v is the best way
to get the right drivers. That is providing the hardware works when
that is done.
