My current laptop has a 512GB mSATA drive which contains / and ~/ in separate partitions. I was hoping to get a new computer that I could just stick it into, but apparently that is not in the cards. It is maybe 3/4 full, so a 1TB NVMe replacement drive would make sense. I know how to create partitions on the new drive, and I can easily copy the contents of ~/ to the new drive, but the tricky part that I do not know how to do is to clone / to its partition on the new drive and make it bootable. I am sure that it is doable, and probably easy, I've just never done it before. But hold off for now on the instructions - I haven't even committed to getting a new computer yet, and if you tell me now I will have forgotten by the time I do. And as for buying a new computer, my current thinking is to continue with my current laptop for another year or so. I'm in no rush. But that isn't going to stop me from shopping. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
