Hi Sasa, (My mail got garbled, probably due to a single dot on one of the lines, so I am resending it. Funny bug in the mail list software that I encountered before. :)

Just partition the new disk with fdisk and copy all partitions to the new disk. You probably want to preserve permissions, so use the -a flag like in cp -a <source>/* <dest> . Also, if you copy the current system to a new location you want to ommit certain directories like /mnt and /proc and probably /tmp and /var/tmp. If you ommit /tmp and /var/tmp remember to create them with the correct permissions (chmod 1777). If you change the partition layout of the new disk you will need to adjust the /etc/fstab to reflect the changes. Last thing to take care of is that before you swap the disks you either need to setup the bootloader (grub-install or lilo) or create a bootdisk (mkbootdisk). Use "man" to get the manual pages for the various commands. Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste? Stop the use of depleted uranium ammo!
