Hi all,

Situation:

I'm moving an (outdated) FC1 installation from a cramped, old workstation to a brand-new one.

Previous one was a dual-boot with Win 2K, new one will be a dual-boot with Win XP.

I'm using partimage from a live CD (System Rescue) to load partition images generated on the old system into pre-created empty ext3 partitions on the new system.

Partitions being moved are **/boot** and **/** .

Partition layout on new system is a bit different from old system.

Swap partition was freshly created on new system (used Partition Magic 8.01 under Win XP).

Questions:

How do I inform FC1 about the currrent location of the swap partition ?

I recall having read (somewhere - ???, sometime ago . . .) that in such cases the swap partition would be automatically detected and used. If such is the case, a confirmation would be gladly welcome.

Thanx all
