I usually put the drive in and mount them both, say /mnt/old/ and |
| 23 |
/mnt/new then do a cp -av /mnt/old/* /mnt/new/ then watch all the files |
| 24 |
scroll by. It has worked for me several times. |

This assumes that the two systems are pretty much identical though. You |
| 27 |
may have to make a new kernel if the mobos or something is really |
| 28 |
different. You know, one has one chipset and the other has some other |
| 29 |
chipset or one has a AMD and the other has a Intel. |
