Well, if you have only Linux, it's easy, the problem is if you have
windows also, and how you would configure your partitions.
The process of moving Linux from one partition or hd to another is
fairly simple:
Put your new hd as slave and make all the partitions and format them.
Just copy all the tree but /proc and /mnt. Create the directories
under /mnt. Then you should edit your /etc/fstab and /etc/lilo.conf to
reflect the new location of the partitions.
At this point you need a boot disk to boot when you swap the hd's to
their final position.
When you boot with the diskette, run lilo to remap your boot files and
that's all.
