Yesterday, my machine was a rude pc chips m598lmr, with a k6-ii/500mhz (no comments please). Today I build a new one with a gigabyte k8vm800, to a sempron 2800+ 64-bit (no comments please) they are economics pcs. How could I reconfigurate my distros (SuSE 9.3 and Slackware 10.1) without a reinstalation?
AFAIK, if your new machine is only using PATA for your HD(s) using the same device position(s) on the controller(s), you should be able to simply boot into runlevel 3 on SuSE, run sax2 to configure for your new video, then init 5 & run like nothing was ever messed with. I've never used slack, but it must have some similar utility for video reconfiguration, or you could manually change its xorg.conf file with your new video as sax2 did for your SuSE. -- "Be quick to listen, slow to speak."
