I usually put the drive in and mount them both, say /mnt/old/ and /mnt/new then do a cp -av /mnt/old/* /mnt/new/ then watch all the files scroll by. It has worked for me several times. This assumes that the two systems are pretty much identical though. You may have to make a new kernel if the mobos or something is really different. You know, one has one chipset and the other has some other chipset or one has a AMD and the other has a Intel. Dale :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
