[Posting to learn myself.] For instance, Slackware [and some other distros] CD sets come with a bootable live CD ["the ultimate rescue disk]. Could one boot from this, then proceed to copy one drive to the other? (Needing care, of course, with paths when issuing commands. Possibly would have to update/fix the LILO map on the new drive.) -- =ksandre= "Gold is the corpse of value." _CRYPTONOMICON_ by Neal Stephenson ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
