Re: Cloning a Debian hard drive
Check out http://www.storm.ca/~yan/upgrade.html. That is the home of the
HD upgrade mini-HOWTO. Basically, it covers the essentials of what you
want to do (clone a drive). The only difference is that you'll want to
keep your old drive, and pull the new one, where the mini-HOWTO has it the
other way around.
I actually don't think that the mini-HOWTO covers the *best* way to clone
a drive (which I believe would use cpio), but it will work.
noah
