This may only apply to ADVENT users but take note:
Due to an 'unfortunate accident' I found myself needing to do a full OS restore from the recovery disks supplied with my machine.
All went fine until re-booting the machine I was told that I had to replace all the original hardware that had been in my machine
Fortunately I had not yet given away my old graphics card (sorry ZAnwar!!) or chucked out the dial-up-modem card and I was able to do this. Had I been more efficient said graphics card would have been somewhere else and I'd have been knackered.
Other thing was that the non-destructive re-installation wouldn't work (ADSL could not be recognised...) so I needed to do a full overwrite.
BAH HUMBUG
In the end to celebrate an extra 1/2 Gb of RAM I got the full XPP, so stuff you ADVENT
