I have Gentoo partially installed on a hard drive. It's taken a day so
far to compile stage1 (but it's almost done), so I'm not about to delete
it all and start over on a new disk. But I'd like to pop in this newer,
faster, bigger disk before I continue the install, since I'll be
compiling programs and a faster disk would help out a little bit,
especially with only 128 MB of RAM.
I assume I can just fdisk the new drive and then "cp -L /dev/hdbn
/dev/hdan" my partitions (where n={1,2,3}). Being a *nix newbie, I
think I'd better check before I do something potentially dangerous (for
example, I already know I'm missing an option to preserve permissions).
