I would first create the new partitions on the new disk keeping the same sequence (and increasing swap partition to 1GB), and then format them. Say the new drive is /dev/sdb. I would go like this (mind the spaces):
mkdir /mnt/dst /mnt/src mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/dst mount -o bind / /mnt/src && cd / && tar cfp - . |tar xfp - -C /mnt/dst (to copy the / partition) mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/dst/boot && cd /boot && tar cfp - . |tar xfp - -C /mnt/dst/boot (to copy the /boot partition) then install new grub on sdb's MBR: mount -t proc none /mnt/dst/proc mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dst/dev chroot /mnt/dst /bin/bash env-update && source /etc/profile grub > device (hd0) /dev/sdb > root (hd0,0) > setup (hd0) > quit exit unmount all previous (the reverse sequence) and shutdown and swap disks :-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
