I just switched out hard drives on my machine. To do this I 'tar'ed most of the config files. (/etc /usr) and backed these up. I did this by 'ftp'ing these tar files to another machine. You do it however you can. I then physically switched out hard drives and did the complete installation procedure on the new hard drive. Then I pulled the tar files mentioned before back onto the new drive and reinstalled them. You should have the same configuration, then. This worked beautifully for me. There may be a way to do it directly from the original hard drive without having to do the complete install again.? Dan P.S. I would like to hear from anyone who has added a second hard drive to their system. : --- : alanko@HK.super.NET -- ------------------------------------------------------------ | hickman@prism.tamu.edu | | Texas Transportation Institute | | Texas A&M University System | ------------------------------------------------------------
