Hi.

I would like to move my Linux partitions from one hard drive
to another so that I can throw away the hard drive it 
currently is installed on and use the new hard drive.

Is it as simple as installing the new hard drive as a secondary 
drive (I'm using IDE drives), create the partitions on the 2nd
drive, make the file system and then do a cp -a for each 
partition, remove the 1st hard drive, and rejumper the 2nd drive
as the IDE primary?

What about the /etc/dev directory - isn't that special and require
special processing for moving it to another drive?

Thanks
-Rod
