Oh, forgot to ask. If you have grub on your boot sector of the new drive, you should be okay; but if you have lilo, you will have to do the dance of the OS transition to get the restored kernel up in place of the old kernel and thus avoid the even more fun rework of your lilo boot sector. This can be tough to do without being booted on the new root disk, and means the simple rsync mirroring can give you a non-bootable system... until you figure out how to run lilo with your disk mounted by KNOPPIX and get it to do things in the right disk context.
Chances are it is grub though, so you won't have this hassle. If you do, there are probably people here who can tell you how to recover. I'd done it but its been a couple years and I'd have to think hard. I believe I worked through chroot from KNOPPIX. Don't take all my comments as a voice of doom. Chances are it will work fine. Just that once in awhile it don't. And you have the luxury that you can wipe and start over as many times as you want. Believe me, that *IS* a luxury! _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
