Fdisk the new disk, creating a swap partition and linux partition. Make a
filesystem (mkfs.ext2 /dev/hdaX) on it and mount it on your current system.
cp (--recursive) all of your data to the new disk from /. Then reinstall
lilo, changing <new drive>/etc/lilo.conf to boot /dev/hdaX instead of
/dev/hdc2.
The last step is the most important... be sure lilo is pointing to your new
disk. afaik that should do it, but then again this is a 1 minute
written-in-mailer solution...
