I'll simply boot up on both systems using SystemRescue CD (as USB). On the real i586 I'll create my partions and format. Rsync over the / of the real i686. Modfiy fstab for the UUID. Modify the grub files and install grub. Reboot and hope it comes up.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>The reality is that doing the above is actually easier for me then respin of the install. I just wanted to try it since I've not done a respin of CentOS. I dong Ubuntu respins many times.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div></div></div></body></html>
