Hi all,

I got me a shiny new PC last week.  I am in process of backing up the 
data off my old pc to get it ready for the new.

I was going to install Linux w/ ext3 filesystem on the new pc, the old 
one has ext2.  Can I restore to the new if it is ext3?  Or to I have to 
install it as ext2, restore my backups, then convert to ext3?

TIA,
