Connect the new hard disk to the existing machine. Create the partition layout you want. Copy the files over (I use tar for that, usually). Don't forget that /dev/ is mounted as a ramdisk, but it has a couple of crucial files on the main partition, so those must be copied as well. When you're done, chroot into the new disk, install grub/lilo, and you should be done. > > Thanks, > Miki > Shachar -- Shachar Shemesh Lingnu Open Source Consulting ltd.
