I just wanted to let everyone know I had a success using Ghost 7 on my current setup. I cloned it from a Dell PowerEdge 2450 to a generic desktop with same drive configuration (2 SCSI drives in each). I used Ghost to do a sector copy on each individual harddrive. All I had to do to get it rolling was boot to the GENERIC kernel, as the one I configured for the Dell server was SMP. Everything seemed to come up and work fine. It even saw additional drive space on the new machine, as the harddrives were slightly bigger. Just thought this was some good information for the list. Stephen Hoover Dallas, Texas
