[Preston] question

[Guy Heatley]

I'm not sure booting of an old installation with a new motherboard
will work very well. I have always got a kernel panic in the past when
I have tried this, although I can't remember the exact reasons given
for the panic.
I think certain things are configured on install or else why isn't
every distro a "live" one. Knoppix when booting from CD must use some
autodetection of hardware that isn't present when a "normal"  hard
disk installed distro boots.

Good luck!
