Sorry it took me a bit to do anything with this.  We still working on
that tree.  We getting close to being done.  Anyway, I mounted the new
SSD OS on the old OS and copied over /etc and /root again.  I really
don't need /home much since I only use root on that thing.  Oh, for
fstab, I used the same labels on each.  After doing that, I shutdown,
unplugged the old drive and booted the SSD OS up.  I was able to login
over ssh even.  I'm sure something in /etc was messed up somehow.  I
think it worked a couple times before failing.  So, this time, I did
several reboots and shutdowns just to be as sure as I could be.  It
worked each time. 

After I hit send, I'll reboot again and it will fail.  Isn't that how it
usually works????   ROFL 

I might be back in a few minutes.  o_O
