Hi All,
I have a friend's HDD which has a Slackware server install. It is
essential that It stay intact but I need to clone it to another drive.
On the original drive the installer fixed the partition at 4 GB but I
wish to let it have a bit more space - say 20 GB.
Do I need to use dd or is there a simple gui way. I need to copy ALL the
files across.
Thanks
Heracles
I think you want Clonezilla: http://clonezilla.org/
Cheers,

personally I would use DD to copy then gparted to expand, but I believe
that gparted can do the whole copy and resize thing these days in a nice
pointy + clicky way.
gparted livecd is ~140mb last I looked I think.
I usually boot an ubuntu livecd and then install gparted onto the live
image.
