desk 1 : admin 0
so now i have jaguar installed and all the updates too. i copy over all of the old preferences. boom. admin dies. so now i have jaguar installed and all the updates too. i copy just the preferences i really need. okay so far so good. i copy applications using the finder. i copy the web files using terminal. then i recopy the mac style cgi scripts. pah. okay still alive. great. now i copy the etc and var entries for apache, dns, firewall, nat, and sendmail. eventually. this requires several reboots. and when i think i'm done i disconnect the old hard drive to make sure i'm not accidentally using anything from there. only to reconnect it when i find the next thing i forgot. the machine's under my desk. it's the wee hours of the night. so this process involves whacking my head on the desk a few times. might as well do it literally. been doing it figuratively all day.
