- Depends on a lot of things, including which filesystem was used when
- installing Dell on the system. I strongly doubt that it would work, and
- with SCOs' reputation for tossing in little mods, odds aren't good.
- I hope there's a good tape backup system installed (and *verify the tapes*
- on a system *already* running SCO!).
-
- Is the old copy of Dell for sale?
