    Looking for some advice.

    I have a RHEL WS box I want to move to new hardware.

    I would like to tar it all up, move it, extract it, rescue disk, grub
    install, and run it. Is this do-able? Better method?

    What is the tar command to tar all for such a purpose? There is an
    exclude proc part is I remember right......

    I am moving from a dual p800 on 80 Gig ATA to a 36GIG SCSI RAID 1
    Single hyperthread CPU ( still SMP )

    Thoughts? Recommendations?

    Thank you,

    Mark
