Is there an easy way to transfer a system from one drive (holding boot,
swap, lvm partitions, in the default F11 layout) to a different hard

I would think you would need to do a lvreduce and possibly a vgreduce to
get the data portion of the drive under 80GB. From there I think a 'dd'
would work just fine.
With a resize2fs first, I guess...
Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions, everyone!
It looks like a minefield, so I'm going to
