Yes, I got the catch. thanks for enlightening me about the matter.Peter wrote:
Is it correct then that before doing the switch I will have to change in /etc/fstab and lilo.conf all what is labeled hdc to hda?
Boot initially
from a floppy into SLackWare run lilo and I should be set with the new drive
as master.

Since you are on lilo, it would be easier to type on the lilo prompt
Since hdc was moved to hda there is initially no more MBR before I run lilo.
Therefore what Peter wrote above correctly replaced the old 5 Gb HD with the new 20 Gb HD as Master.
But I have a doubt....
As pa3gcu said couldn't you use the bios' boot option to boot thru the other drive and since it's lilo.conf is pointing to hdc, could'nt you
then pass the root= parameter?
