Hi,
I have an old pc running Debian Woody and I have 2 questions.
Firstly, the hard drive ios quite old and become quite noisy, I suspect it is on the way out. What is the easiest way to replace it ? It only have 2 partions, one of them a swap. The new drive is slightly bigger.
Do you have a boot/rescue disk handy? A Knoppix disk may make things even easier.
If you could boot off of your CD-ROM and mount both the new and old disks, then rsync everything except /proc and lost+found.
Maybe it would be safe to do this while running off of the current install. I don't know. If anyone has corrections to this possibly hair-brained idea, please comment.
