Cloning a Debian hard drive

[Randy Edwards <redwards@together.net>]

   I have a 2.5 gig IDE hard drive all set up and happily running Bo.
I'd like to "clone" this drive onto another to move the new drive into a
different computer and save reinstalling/configuring Debian.

   I've toyed with the idea of using cp, and also of using tar.
However, could someone point me in the direction (details would be nice
too:-) of the *best* technique to do this?  Thanks in advance.
