Why not just rsync all the files of interest over to the new box? The integrity of the filesystem is really not connected to the display issues...
Well, in the ongoing saga.....
The new machine is a spanking HP pavilion, dual core athlon 64.
And 10.1 doesn't recognize the DVD/CD rom...
Install no go.
Install ACPI=off at least gets me som old fashioned curses-style dialog boxes, but which invariably tell me it can't find/mount the cd rom device. going into the System Information dialog to Hard Disks or CD-ROMs tells me it finds the SATA HD, and even all the cute flash-rom thingies. But not the DVD/CD.
I'm now almost $1000 in the hole for nice hardware I can't use...
Suggestions?
I've always had splendid success installing suse from external USB drives... If your hardware is new enough to handle booting from USB that seems like a good bet - especially since I have no idea why your internal DVD is not liking linux...
