This is very helpful, though I'm not actually moving the software,
just changing the name of the host that it's on.  Do I still need to
go through the whole process of removing the robots, reinstalling the
software, etc?  Or should I be able to move the media, change the name,
then tell the master to look for a new media server at the new name?

Take care,
