Many people get way much more power supply than they truly need. I wish I
had a clamp-on AC ammeter.

Careful with /etc. Some parts of it refer to files or directories that
might be in different places under 9.2 than they were under 8.2. Also,
parts of it refer to the hardware, which is different. Many files will
need manual attention.

Make sure you adjust owner IDs appropriately. 'find /home -uid <old user
ID> -print0 | xargs -0 chown <login name>' and likewise with gid for uid
and .<default group> for <login name> . That's off the top of my head;
make sure I'm right. That kind of PITA is why I reinstall rarely.
