stick to boot off? That thought had crossed my mind and I guess that this ould get me round the current crisis. However, I still buy audio CDs and rip them to Ogg Vorbis, so it would be inconvenient. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2015-09-01 20

Re: [Dorset] 'Cloning' a Disk when the Partitions are not identical

again with my / partition on the SSD drive (when it arrives) and my /home partition on a separate conventional 2.5 drive (the Optiplex SFF will only take one 3.5 drive or two 2.5 ones). Hopefully, with all the practice, it will be a bit less fraught... -- Terry Coles

[Dorset] 'Cloning' a Disk when the Partitions are not identical

concerned that is I copy as root, I'll end up with files that are all owned by root in my home partition. So to 'clone' these partitions, what is the best approach? (I'll need to do this all over again when the SSD Drive turns up :-) ) -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting
