I did the install onto the HD in the Compaq, set inittab to 3 and moved the HD to the decTOP. I booted without the ethernet USB dongle, and after I was logged in, I plugged it in.

As long as the disk controller is the same type you should be able to bring it up and fix everything else. I'd set it up to not start X (init level 3) so you can reconfigure it before it tries to start. You may have to fix or remove the HWADDR= line in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file since it won't match the NIC. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
