This was a headless server, no x11, no sound. The graphics card is certainly different but it only runs console so..? The configuration, was basically a standard install + kernel 4.2.18 compile. If I am lucky I added most of the nics we use here (driver/modules), if not I can use the old nic. Other than that it is a very basic setup. Should I just move the hd across to the new chassis and hope for the best ? Thnaks Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
