Easiest way? - Boot on the destination server using knoppix. - fdisk /dev/hda. Repartition as you see fit. - mke2fs on the partition. - mkswap on the swap partition - mount the partition as, say, /new - copy all files with: cd /new rsync -avP -e ssh --exclude /proc [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ - Edit new/etc/* to change host names, etc,etc - chroot /new - Look at lilo.conf and fstab and make sure "/" is the same partition - lilo -v - reboot - go have fun with your windows friends who need to pay extra to do this. :) I have more detailed instructions if you need.
