RE: [hlds_linux] [OT] Newb question about Linux..
Quick update - I did it this morning and everything went as smooth as can be. Had to reconfigure some hardware but that was it. Thanks for all the help. :) Joshua -Original Message- From: Marius [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 4:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] [OT] Newb question about Linux..

Can I just swap the hardware and boot the primary and RH will be peachy after it does its standard checks? Or will I be looking at a full reinstall and configuration of RH? :\ Thanks..

Re: [hlds_linux] [OT] Newb question about Linux..
This might be hard for you do do since you don't have that much linux experience, but I'll explain it anyway... You don't need to reinstall everything but you might consider that if you don't know what I'm talking about in this mail. Compile a kernel with support for the new cpu and all other hardware, then swap the motherboards, cpu, ram and so on... After that start the the new computer up, you might need a rescue disk.
