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 ?
