Hah!!! Last month I built a new system and simply carried "hda"
across to the new system. Took a bit of pre-planning to ensure that
the kernel was SMP, knew about the new drivers as well as the old,
and persistent_rules needed a little fiddling with, but other than
that, it was a smooth transfer. Of course, it helped that the old
and new systems both were AMD with NVIDIA video cards...
Still, I've seen my Uncle hose Windows systems doing something
similar, because Windows so often needs external drivers.
