How to migrate to eComStation 2.1?

[e***@ecomstation.ru]

The general secret - buy new hard drive.
If you have free hard drive then you can immediately install the system to it.
And attach your old harddrive as secondary and get data from it step by step.

What is the state of your computer after N years?
* old eCS 1.x
* trash on desktop, unnecessary WPS classes, trash after accidents.
* documents in different corners of the disk
* old versions of applications (major part)
* unnecessary dll files

What is the goal of the user:
* Install new eCS 2.1
* Switch to new fresh hard drive / new computer
* collect all useful data from old eCS PC

Pffft!
While the "cleanliness" of a new system is nice, I am still using this
W4 box to get work done, and its last install was . . . lessee, checking
POPUPLOG.OS2 . . . Oct1997.

I just moved it off of the old 1Ghz AMD clone computer I've had it on
for the last decade (hardware is nearing EOL, fans crapping, etc.), onto
a 2004-vintage HP DC7100 -- P4 3.8 Ghz, HT, VT, yippee -- blech, but I
own four of them. Having an eCS install on the LAN simplified updating
the handfull of files I needed to do that (ACPI, primarily). It's like
a pair of old, comfortable shoes, which I do NOT want to abandon. eCS
2.1 still feels very foreign to me, what with the various nooks &
crannies that things are hidden, and the odd *nix dir trees scattered
about.
