Thanks all for the feedback. > 1.starting with: > I. an "old computer" with 2 HDs: > - the boot HD that has RH installed & your data > - a clean ext3 formatted 9G HD > II. a "newer computer" with RH installed on the boot HD > and plenty of space for your data That is what I was doing. Except I was hoping to just plop the second HD into the new RH installation. In the end, I did just that. I plugged it in and mounted it right away without a single problem. Hardware stuff freaks me out. > Please don't say Windoze. yes windoze. I thought about RH, but the computer would be useless to the person if it wasn't windoze. Maybe I should dual-boot it.
