Hiya List,
I've got a Suse 9.3/9.2 dual boot going on. I'll be swapping 2 hard-drives into an entirely new system rsn. The hardware configuration is totally different from the current one. Roughly, the current hardware config (relative to what will be changed) is:
700 Mhz Pentium III (Coppermine) NVidia Riva TNT2 Model 64 YMF 744B (Yamaha DS-XG Audio) NC100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100
New hardware:
Intel Pentium 4 Prescott 3.0 GHz (800 FSB) 1024K Geforce FX5200 128Mb DDR 8x AGP dual head w/tv out AC 97 32 BIT Full Duplex sound card (onboard) 10/100 Network card adapter (onboard)
Should I be aware of any 'gotchas' ahead of time? Will I be spending a late night or two tweaking things? Any advance help/info is appreciated.
OFTEN there are controller differences between MOBs. Most often I make backups of ALL data I must have/need/want, then swap MOBs. Then, reformat all partitions and reload data. Fred -- The only bug free software from MickySoft is still shrink-wrapped in their warehouse..."
