My thought was that if I use a local PC and install SuSE, set the video/graphics to VGA then that drive should fire up in most PC's, and video/sound/network settings could then be adjusted for that particular PC.
~ maybe, just format the partition you wish to use on the HardDisk that will be going into the other 'puter . . . plug that HD into your working puter . . . mount the HD that's for the 2nd puter, on, say, /mnt then execute :- tar clf - . | ( umask 0; cd /mnt; tar xvf - ) { you may wish to kill "cron" while you are making your 'clone' } ~ finally, shut down your puter, unplug the HD and transfer it to our 2nd machine . . . run sax2 ~ the whole operation should take about 10 minutes. ~ should work OK [ remember to restart cron : execute /usr/sbin/cron ] best wishes ____________ sent on Linux ____________
