Re: [FW-1] Replacing management station

[Yim Lee <yimwlee@FW1-NOSPAMYAHOO.COM>]

If I am doing it, I will move to the new box with SP2.
 Wait a week or two, then I will upgrade to SP5.  The
more you change, the more difficult it is to
troubleshoot if you had a problem.

Why do you want to move the log?  Do you really need
the old logs?
