    From Ennev@1:103/705 to All on Tue Jan 23 12:52:02 2018
    Look like my HD is dying, it's o.k. it had a long life.

    But maybe now its an opportunity to move the bbs over a Raspberry PI.

    Haven't started to research much except how to compile the bbs on the pi.

    But my main question is what do I need from my /SBBS folder on my old box to the pi to "restore" my system

    /sbbs/data is a given /text too i guess the /ctrl too ?

    I'm I missing anything else important ?

    Thanks for the assistance.

    I'd say pretty much everything except /sbbs/exec, which needs to be populated with new binaries compiled for the Pi. What OS are you moving from?

    As for compiling, I would go for compiling from CVS, it's an easy single step operation. Make sure everything is backed upbefore you start. :)
