Hi
cant give you a definate yes or no. me "best practices" would say back
up the configs and start again just to be sure. but if its a non vital
system you are probably fine to let it run till something breaks (eg a
daemon not running)
just boot it up, confirm everything working and let it run if you feel
safe doing it
if you had non system files (pictures/moives) on that flash disk this
may be a good time to look at how you do backups. a 6 month old file
an be better than no file at all
