There was an article on moving entire OS's (DOS/Win, WIn95, WinNT, OS/2, Linux) in the last edition of the (recommendable, IMHO) German c'T - Magazine. I see you're not from or near Germany, and I don't know about your command of the German language, but it might help you... What I'm trying to say is I am very busy at the moment and I just moved, so I can't really get at my stuff, and I don't remember their solution offhand... They also have a Webserver with some english pages at http://www.ix.de/ct If you don't have a better answer in a week or so, email me again... maybe I'll have fought my way through the boxes... much luck, axel ....................................................................... .
