Re: [ilugd] The December Meet
I migrated a server from somewhere in Virginia on a RAID setup to a desktop in Atlanta without RAID over the internet. I obviously wasnt present in either of the places. All one has to be careful of are the following : 1.Confirm all the hardware are supported by the OS. 2. Make sure RAID disks are configured properly. 3. If RAID doesnt exist in the destination - make sure /etc/raidtab is renamed. 4. Update /etc/fstab to point everything in the right partitions. 5. Update /etc/lilo.conf or /etc/grub.conf to point the bootloader at the right direction. 6. Create a new /boot/initrd if the hard disk/filesystem is different. 7. Update MBR if you are using lilo. 8. Update /etc/modules.conf for any settings that is required in the destination. I think that covers all the critical areas - ofcourse X might require reconfiguration etc.. but your OS will definitely boot by now. Mithun --- Vipul Mathur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Right.

A friend of mine once took his harddisk to some other guy's place, got Linux installed on it and then put it back in his own PC. I don't remember the specifics, but the procedure bombed.. (n he now uses Linux thru a Knoppix (Lify) CD.) I understand that the correct device drivers won't get installed, but they can be replaced once the disk is on the correct PC.. Right? Right. One just has to ensure that kernel can be found by the loader and that the fstab is correct. Thus (in simplified terms) if you install with the hard disk as /dev/hda (primary master) and then attach that hard disk to another PC as primary master. Things should work and you can have an opportunity to load the changed device driver modules, or something like kudzu can do it for you. A little-bit of tweaking will fix the problem even if you change the location of the hard disk from /dev/hda to say /dev/hdc, but then I guess you want to avoid that scenario in this case. [snip] hard-disk installs work if the pc is *identical*. i know vipul had identical pcs at his site, so he installed a complex bunch of Oses on one pc, then just did a blind disk to disk copy for all other hard disks on other pcs in less than 10 minutes each. :-) LL Yeah that was a nice experiance, considering that each of those machines had to get both (the mukt OS) and (a bloated virus with mouse support) installed. dd if=/dev/sourcedisk of=/dev/targetdisk bs=4096 worked peacefully 40 duplications in 3 hours flat! (Considering we used just two stations to replicate) PS: Yes I know I've been invisible on the list and in meets since long, but it gets a little difficult (to attend meets atleast) given that I seem to be in Mumbai ;-) I hope to become more active on the list atleast, now that I have kind-of-sort-of-maybe settled down here. :-) BTW: I missed the announcement of the Dec meet.

Re: [ilugd] The December Meet
hi Ashwin, for a start there is excellent online courses (2 in number) available on http://www.linux.org/. these are introductory & intermiediate level courses. perhaps you can take a look & see if you find them useful for our meet in Dec. cheers Anuj From: "Ashwin Baindur" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ilugd] The December Meet Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2003 17:26:39 +0530 Dear all, We hope to make a small beginning in the right direction with regards to the theme-based ILUGD meets. The next meet on 21 Dec 03 Sunday (timings later) at :- B6, Raksha Bhawan, Man Singh Rd (opposite Indira Kala Kendra) (between Rajpath and Andhra Pradesh Bhawan. The theme is - Helping GNUbies. The following are planned :- * An introductory talk on the Linux Movement. * To show Linux on a machine and how the utilities can be easily used :- Openoffice.org, xmms,mozilla, evolution, A game. * To show a simple install of a Linux Distribution. * To show them some books, resources available so that they are aware. * Showcase some of the steps of LL's Formula For Freedom based Samadhi or should it be Nirvana? * To keep a few Knoppix etc CDS available for sale. * To allow them to meet some of 'the Gang', who can answer some questions. How all of you can help! * With ideas. We crystallise by say 01Dec and execute after that. * With participation - Though I'm a Linux enthusiast, I live in the Windows world of Government - I'm not a day to day user of Linux - though I hope to be in my next posting/appointment. I need help with each aspect of the above. * With help - Volunteers required please who can showcase the install, the use of the Seven Steps to Samadhi programmes, speak on Newbie topics. * With resources - For example, I'd appreciate if you can bring some Linux books, CDs or something to the meet to show/inspire/educate the Newbie. * By passing the word to Newbies about this Golden Opprtunity - if we can get even say a dozen newbies of whom say even three-four get hooked - we'd have achieved success. Anything more than that would be good success, great success or extraordinary success (depending on how many come .AND. become Linux-lovers). I'd be able to do a little bit of each of the things I've asked help for - but the success of an ILUGD Meet depends on - how many ILUGDites actually come, and as importantly, how many get 'involved' in organising the meet. Now, dear ILUGDites - the cat is out of the bag. Let's put our words into action and move forward to make the Meet a success. PS - I promise to deliver on the Jungle Juice ;-) .
