[NCLUG] Hard drive only Linux install.

[Darrin Goodman]

This is good information.  I need to learn more about reconfiguring X.
Thanks John!

	I'm not sure that you can swap the hard drive between machines, once
the OS
	has been configured for a particular machine.  I would love to know
if
	anyone has been successful with this sort of thing, and what they
did to
	make it work.  Thanks!

I've been doing this for years with RH and RC releases with very minor
problems.
You do need to install the correct X driver after the move, and reconfigure
X.
Other than that, it's been nearly transparent between machines. Much easier
to
just take the HDD out of a machine without media, install, and put back.
Even
for notebooks, as you can easily use the 2.5 drive with an IDE adapter.
