Topic: 'nother newbie question - retrospectively adding hardware

[wibbly]

Couple of questions:

1. If I add more memory, faster processor, or a second HDD, do I need to re-install?

2. If I add/use a HDD larger than the PC's BIOS will support, does Linux natively provide large disk support (say, <=250MB on an EIDE controller)

NO

but you will have to do a little system setup for the hard drive there is a good howto at

Would this be a yes or a no for Linux and e-smith?
