that's how I "built" the system I have now. Had a pair of drives
in software RAID-1. pulled 'em out of the old system, plugged 'em
into the new system and voila (nearly) everything worked. One bottleneck
was the network wasn't working until I fixed the hard-coded MAC addresses
in the NIC configuration. can't think of anything else, right now, that
didn't work.
following up on my won post: I gotta admit that was Centos 6, not
Fedora.
