I have the latest CVS compiled on a new system running CentOS 7.5.1804, but other than the xtrn and data folders, not sure which other files to bring over to 'replicate' my system. ( I know most of the cfg and ini files from the ctrl folder ) Am I safe to bring over any .cfg .ini .dab .cnf .exb .sha .shd .sid .sch .sda .sdt .hash .can files and place them in same folder structure ?

I encountered technical difficulties trying to move my BBS from it's current home on a Cobalt Qube, where the eprom size of the boot area was limiting me to on old version of linux and toolsets. ( CentOS 5.11 to be exact ).
Long story short, I tried to update on the old system and it fails to compile, leaving my system down.
the old system,it is headless with no gui, so the compile I've always used there is "/sbbs/src/cleanall.sh" followed by "make RELEASE=1 USE_DOSEMU=1 NO_X=1 NO_GTK=1".
The latest CVS pull uses something that isn't liked on the old, ancient linux :
cc -c -D__UNIX__ -DNDEBUG -I. -DDATA_LITTLEENDIAN -DFIXED_SEED=0xB56F2F4 -fPIC -DHAS_RECURSIVE_MUTEX -DHAS_ROBUST_MUTEX -march=pentium -O2 -Wno-pointer-sign -Wno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks -std=gnu11 -DOSVERSION=2 -fomit-frame-pointer -D_REENTRANT -o ./static-obj/rand_x917.o random/rand_x917.c

Not really interested in fixing the old system, unless someone knows something simple, I'm trying to move to a new system at this point.

Of course, it's the proper term, butold age isn't granting favors to the dictionary/theasaurus in my head.bbs.ujoint.org - Running Madly into the Wind and Screaming ...

Ubuntu for sbbs.
Debian works great as well.
