Sorry it took me a bit to do anything with this. We still working on that tree. We getting close to being done. Anyway, I mounted the new SSD OS on the old OS and copied over /etc and /root again. I really don't need /home much since I only use root on that thing. Oh, for fstab, I used the same labels on each. After doing that, I shutdown, unplugged the old drive and booted the SSD OS up. I was able to login over ssh even. I'm sure something in /etc was messed up somehow. I think it worked a couple times before failing. So, this time, I did several reboots and shutdowns just to be as sure as I could be. It worked each time. After I hit send, I'll reboot again and it will fail. Isn't that how it usually works???? ROFL I might be back in a few minutes. o_O Dale :-) :-)
