Hi Paul,

The disks should be the same size if you're doing that. Otherwise, do
it on a per partition basis, having set the new partitions up the same
as the old ones. 

You may want to play with the bs option to improve performance, but I
doubt you've got that luxury!

...and make sure you've got a boot floppy, you're probably not going
to have a bootstrap on the new one!

Good Luck,

Steve
