Thanks for the suggestion. Someone else suggested I boot from the install CD, so I combined your suggestions and was pleasantly surprised at the ease with which this worked. I booted from the CD, partitioned and mounted the new drive as I wanted, mounted the old drive, then did: rsync -a --progress /old/ /new Then I switched cables so the old drive was now hda, booted from the CD and ran grub on hd0. It booted right up from the new drive after that. The thing I like about gentoo is I really feel like I understand what is going on, so I'm able to do things like this which I would never dream of with Red Hat or Mandrake. -- Chris Bare [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
