Subject: Re: transfering linux system to another hard drive

Yes, all the hardware except the drive is the same. But, that's just the 
point. Am I wrong about this? Aren't their drive specific params to an 
install?

Second, is installation really that hard? Seems it should be cleaner to 
simply install then move the data, including appropriate /etc 
configurations, back over. Certainly seems more secure and less 
experimental to me.

But, I've been wrong before.
