The problem has escalated. While I was out getting a video card at Free Geek the system died. Long story short, a rest allowed it to boot but the new card makes no difference. Ergo, finishing the new box has become the highest priority. Which leads to my next two questions ... 1) I have two options: install Slackware-14.1/64-bit on th enew hard drive, iostall the multilb libraries, move databases and other applications over, and rebuild all SlackBuilds.org packages (since the existing server/workstation runs 32-bit Slackware-14.1). 2) Install the current sda in the new box. get the system running, then install, build, configure everything on the larger new hard drive while it's connected externally. I think the second option gets me a functioning server/workstation more quickly and seek your thoughts on this issue. It's the end of the month next week so a fully functional system is needed.
