From: "Glenn Meadows" 

Kewl, then I suspect it works as advertised.  Any "gotcha's" to
look out for?  I'm looking for a reliable method to move off an old HP 2LC
Netserver (dual PII 333) to a more "modern" server.  The box has
a separate Raid 5 array for all the data storage, and dual Mirrored drives
for OS install, and is our domain controller.
