I've just received my replacement Maxtor hard drive (the old one is still kicking), and I'm wondering what is the best way to go about switching over. I've read some HOW-TOs and read through some forum posts, but none seems to be what I'm looking for (or else it's just ME that can't make complete sense of them). One of them that seems thorough is this:

I may have some corrupted data due to the problems with the old drive--most likely something to do with the journaling, so I don't want to move that over. I'd like to preserve my settings and preferences for apps and such, e.g. Mozilla. Does anyone know of a good HOWTO for 10.2 that deals with moving a Linux system to another drive, or has anyone done it and can relate the steps? I am not averse to just reinstalling if that's the easiest, but I'd love to get my feet wet (all the way up to my ears probably) trying this first.
What about G4L--Ghost for Linux? Anyone have experience with it?

Thanks for any input!!
