Mostly yes. You might encounter problems if: _ the kernel you have been using doesn't have the module for some of your new hardware (did you build a custom kernel?); _ you compiled your system with a specific CPUTYPE and your new CPU does not match that; _ your disks are going to have a new name on your new system; _ ... These are almost always easily solved, but watch especially out for the CPUTYPE thing. bye av.
