 I've looked at various solutions for cloning - they all assume that
 the new HDD is installed in the computer. I need to clone via a USB
 HDD as I'm replacing the HDD in my laptop (160GB instead of 80GB -
 that's all the BIOS will take!) and so cannot install the new HDD
 alongside the old! I am also looking at the possibility of
 dual-booting with Windows 7 (hence the bigger HDD - as my wife is
 being moved to Win 7 with her work laptop and as usual, I suspect
 that her IT dept will not do it properly) and thus my second
 question is this: If I install Win 7 first on a partition of the
 new HDD would I then be able to restore the clone to a second
 partition and how would that affect Grub?

[ubuntu-uk] Volunteer needed in East London

2012-08-13 Thread Paula Graham
Fossbox is looking for a volunteer to help a women's health organisation
in Hackney, East London, to upgrade an Ubuntu LTSP (or possibly simplify
the system to a standalone PCs) - I'm snowed under this month and they
need someone to go on-site for a day or two and sort it out. Needs some
people skills as well as Ubuntu, but they're lovely and will give you
lunch etc: http://www.fossbox.org.uk/?q=node/27
