Re: Wifi help with Sabayon?

2008-12-22 Thread Jim March
Let me add another point: you should be aware of what software your distro uses for WiFi/network management. Most today are using some variant of Network Manager, a Red Hat project. Wicd is another possibility, it's not as common as NM. Sabayon is a Gentoo fork so they're likely using whatever

That will give you the exact same sized partitions as your old drive. You could then expand the parition or just create another partition in the extra free space and mount it. Erich Newell wrote: So...after mulling this over more, I think my best bet is: dd if=/dev/hda of=dev/hdc bs=446

Erich, I think you still have to do the grub-install /dev/hdc because it does more than write that boot sector. An easy way to do it would be to do a chroot /newdrive/newroot. Before doing this, make sure you setup some like /newdrive/newroot and /newdrive/newroot/boot with the right

I think if you did a dd and copied the whole drive to the 80gb, you would wind up with a 80gb that looks and acts like a 60gb, and would boot up like your original drive, after they replaced the original with it. You could then resize the partitions, to use the unused space. -Original

There's no quick way to migrate from one platform to another. But if you work out a plan it can be done fairly quickly (a few weeks). I'd use httrack ( http://www.httrack.com/ ) to make a static version of your website that you can work with as plain html/etc. I'm not sure what dynamic feature
