I did the following: Pluged in new hdd via pcmcia drive. Set up appropriate partitions on new drive Mounted new root partition on /flash (just a handy mount point I happened to have lying around) and followed instructions in hard disk upgrade, starting with: cd / && echo cp -a `/bin/ls -1Ab |egrep -v "^flash|^proc$|^home$"` /flash|sh Set up lilo as below (as far as I can see as per instructions), ran lilo, as follows: /sbin/lilo -C /flash/etc/lilo.conf Swapped old disk for new disk booted and got as far as Loading Linux ........................................ I can't boot from floppy or CD to fix lilo, but can boot from the old disk and mount the new disk at the same time (which is what I'm doing at the moment, but I want to recycle the old drive into a new old laptop). Any help much appreciated.
