Re: lobotamy via HD swap

["Gregory T. Norris" <haphazard@mail.socket.net>]

I did that recently, when upgrading to a new motherboard.  Assuming
that the new machine has compatible hardware (i.e. that your kernel was
compiled with all the necessary support included) it should work just
fine.

If you're configured to boot directly into X via xdm (or whatever),
you may want to disable that first... especially if you aren't keeping
the original monitor and/or video card.
