Hi all,
Is there an easy way to transfer a system from one drive (holding
boot, swap, lvm partitions, in the default F11 layout) to a different
hard drive, if the new drive is smaller?
If the new drive is larger, dd could be used in a fairly
straightforward way.
However, I want to try replacing a 160 GB hard drive with an Intel 80
GB solid-state drive, just for fun...
I suspect a re-install might be easier.

gparted (or qtparted) will do what you want. I don't remember if it can
resize the partitions as you copy them, but in the worst case you can
resize first then copy.
or you can use cp -a to copy over all necessary files and run
grub-install to restore the grub boot loader if it's installed in MBR
