if you don't want (or can't) use non-free software (ghost, partition magic (which i'd recommend for this), ...), you could try the following : - install the new disk (say /dev/hdc) - boot the old system - create partitions on the new disk - mount them on temporary mount points - copy from old disk (cp -a) - chroot to the new root fs - edit lilo.conf change boot parameter to new disk (still /dev/hdc) - lilo - edit lilo.conf again revert boot parameter to new disk future dev (say /dev/hda) - shutdown - remove old disk and put the new in place (now /dev/hda) - boot - it should work, if it doesn't, you would just have to boot on a rescue diskette or install cd, mount the new root fs, chroot to it and lilo again
