Assuming all new filesystems are mounted under /mnt in the appropriate locations (/mnt/usr, /mnt/home, /mnt/var, etc). Easy way to do this is: # for dir in `find / -type d -maxdepth 1` ; do mkdir /mnt/${dir} ; done Mount your new filesystems # find / -path /proc -prune -o -path /mnt -prune -o -print|cpio -puvdm /mnt # lilo -b /dev/hdb Watch word wrap there. Shut down, pull old drive, put new drive as master, boot. -- Brad Felmey
