Hello
I have been setting up a gateway machine using FBSD.
While it is far from perfect (questions .. questions)
I want to move it from my test machine to the final
destination.
I can do what I like to the destination machine and/or
the test machine in order to achieve this.
The significant differences between the machines are:
1 - They have different NIC cards, but both are supported.
The test machine has 3 NIC's all configured (there is
a reason for this !) the destination only one.
2 - The IP address and hostname will change change
3 - The destination machine is a P90/48MB instead of a
P120/64 MB (but I can hardly imagine this matters much)
4 - They have different makes and sizes of hard disk, that
on the detsination is much smaller so I cannot just
copy the lot over. It is big enough for the function
it will be used for though.
I have made no kernel changes from GENERIC 4.0.
I can do this by hand of course, install 4.0 on the destination
and update the configuration a file at a time.
Or is there a cute way to do this ?
Thanks
Cliff
