Hi All: I've decided to start the migration from Windows to UBUNTU. However, I've decided not to make the leap all at once. I'll be running UBUNTU as a Windows App for probably six months or so first. Now, my wife and I both have laptops, same manufacturer, but different models. So the hardware isn't 100% the same. I know that I can copy C:\UBUNTU between the computers, and manually update the BOOT.INI file to allow the boot selection. However, my question is this. If I copy the C:\UBUNTU from my computer, to my wife's, and modify the boot.ini, will UBUNTU detect the new hardware and automatically update the hardware configuration? If not, is there an easy way to force UBUNTU to detect the changes, without doing a full build on hers. My wife's computer and mine (Windows) are built up with the same basic configuration, and the same will be true for UBUNTU. So by building the basic UBUNTU on my system, as a Windows APP, I can copy the config between systems. Thanks loads!
