I want to change my Linux system from "current" layout to "final" layout, shown below. Debian is what I will go into the future with and this final layout makes more sense to me.
+------+-----------+---------+
| part | current | final |
| | layout | layout |
+------+-----------+---------+
| HDA1 | ML 7.2 | potato |
| HDA5 | potato | woody |
| HDA6 | ML 8 beta | sid |
| HDA7 | woody | sandbox |
| HDA8 | /home | /home |
+------+-----------+---------+
On the surface it would seem straight forward since all the required kernels
are in /hda1/boot so I think all that I have to do is
(1) install a new LILO config
(2) copy potato from hda5 to hda1
But of course, there are a couple of questions.
(a) are there any hidden gotchas?
(b) once I have done the copy how do I made a boot floppy for potato now in
hda1?
Apologies is these seems trivial to some, but I've only been using Debian
about 5/6 weeks now, have a stable system doing what I want it to do and
don't want to screw it up.
Thanks,
