I've got a simple question. I'm in the process of switching from a 2.5 GB HD to a 4.3 GB drive. I have my Linux box set up with a 64 meg / partition, a 700 meg /usr, and separate /tmp, /home, and /var (etc.) partitions.
Okay, so I partition my new drive with the various sized partitions that I want. Then I mount a partition under /mnt and do a "cp -axv /home/* /mnt" (etc.) to copy the various "old" partitions to the "new" drive. Everything works fine. Until I get to the root partition, that is. I've been through a half-dozen books reading up on cp and dd and various commands and I can't come up with a way to copy only the subdirectories on my 64 meg / partition to the new / partition. I know this is an easy one; can someone shed some light on me please? Thanks in advance. -- Regards, | Debian GNU/ __ o http://www.debian.org . | / / _ _ _ _ _ __ __ Randy | / /__ / / / \// //_// \ \/ / ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | /____/ /_/ /_/\/ /___/ /_/\_\ http://www.golgotha.net | ...because lockups are for convicts...
