This was just discussed on the list ;-)
Mount the new disk on, say /mnt and:
cp -a -x / /mnt
If the final device of the new drive is going to be different than that of
the original you will need to edit /etc/fstab to reflect the difference.
That is, if the 1.2 Gig drive was /dev/hda and the new drive is going to
be booted as /dev/hdb then change fstab to reflect this change.
You will probably also want to build a boot floppy for the first boot and
then run lilo after you boot from the floppy (assuming lilo is your boot
loader)
Luck,
Dwarf
