You must bring up another working Linux partition (maybe the source of the partition copy) then as root: mount the copied partition. chroot <mount point> kedit /etc/fstab Alter the root line to the new device. Remove any other mention of the new root partition. Save. chroot <mount point> kedit /etc/lilo.conf Change all mentions of the old root device to the new root device. Save. chroot <mount point> /sbin/lilo Boot down. Add the new boot device to your boot manager (hopefully xosl). Boot the new Linux partition. Yes, that's all!! If you now want to delete the old Linux partition, remember to replace it with a minimum-size ext2 placeholder partition so as not to disturb the partition numbering. -- Regards, Ron. [AU]
