I have just purchased a 20gig drive for my laptop and need some info on
how to transfer my Linux partition onto the new drive.

My current setup is a 8 gig drive with 
4 gig winxp partition
4 gig debian 3.0 unstable (of course with necessary swap and so on)

My question is 'is it possible to keep my setup' and just transfer it
all to the new harddrive. It took me bloody ages to get the debian
working correctly as I need all sorts of weird and wonderful kernel
patches and fix it's to get my very strange network card going and the
screen at the correct resolution.

To top it off Im also running out of space on the 4gig partition and
would like to when I copy the current setup to my new harddrive but into
a larger (10-15gig) partition for future expansion.

The setup is a:
Dell Inspiron 3800
Mobile pIII 700
With 128mb ram
Belkin Cardbus PCMCIA nic

Maybe Im dreaming and will need to reinstall, but the last time I did
that I almost had to pawn my kidneys to get help getting it going, and I
only have so many kidneys you know!

Cheers 
Ronald
