moved HD to new PC and it worked!!!!

Hi,

I had a pc running RH7.2 on an intel mobo and pentium III.

I took the hard drive out to replace a failing HD in my other computer that has a microstar mobo athlon thunderbird 1.2Ghz cpu. I booted it up expecting it to freak as it found out that all the former hardware was replaced with new HW but, I was prompted to remove all missing hardware and configure all new hardware. after all that it booted X and seemed normal. I was impressed. I remember trying a similar thing with win2k only to have it blue screen.

Score one for linux.

i did that a month or so ago myself, from a k6 400 to a athlon 1200 - not even a hick up!

I just did that a few weeks ago too.

Out of a dual P2-450, into a single P200, into a single 450, and into a dual 1.2ghz amd system. Only thing I had to change on each move was my X config file.
