My current plan (thanks to Steve Wormley for some tips) is: * single user mode * Move "/usr/local" into a subdir on that partition: * mount the "/usr/local" parition on HDB as "/mnt" * mkdir /mnt/usr/local * mv /mnt/* /mnt/usr/local/ * cp -a --one-filesystem / /mnt/ * Use the newly built "/" parition on HDB as "/" (chroot) * Edit /etc/fstab * Run LILO * Change "Slave" to "Master" on HDB (making it HDA), remove old HDA * Cross fingers ;) Seem reasonable? -bill! _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
