RedHat kernels seems to take well the total replacement of mobos. You should be fine. The kernel can detect chipset changes, etc and kudzu then reconfigure somethings based on what the kernel says. For example, network settings can be inherited from a missing on-board nic to a new on-board nic. Unlike windows (where it goes through about 5 boots of detecting new hardware and ask for all kinds of drivers, then duplicates them to where you have to remove them in safe mode), linux to pretty clean. My question is, how much component swapping does RH really do to test the robustness of kudzu? Sounds like they might can take a harddrive and boot it up on as many different systems as possibly - then see what will go wrong. -eric wood -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
