I'd probably just tar it all up (use tar cjf to use bzip2 compression), and then make sure to use tar xpjf to put it on the new disk (the p preserves file permissions, which is absolutely necessary). You might want to add switches to stop tar traversing other partitions, etc. as required. - Jeff -- "I came for the quality, but I stayed for the freedom." - Sean Neakums -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
