Why ACK? I can hold off until Monday if it makes your life easier ... as
I said, it should be totally transparent ... none of the configs are
changing, and unless there is a software package missing on the new

The way the VMs are setup, in case you are not aware, is a layer of two
file systems ... the upper layer contains all of the stuff that has

layer that I'm going to be swapping, the upper will not be touched ...
