You need to identifiy those files that _seem_ to be platform specific. From my experience there are basically none. When my ibook broke, I installed the same packages on a i386 laptop, copied the configuration files and /home and kept working :-) "bacially none" because the bootloader config is different and I used a different partitioning, so fstab was different too... Stuff in /usr/local is likely to be platform specific, too. But not in /etc. regards, Holger
