Coping/Moving a Debian Instalation to Another Drive
Hi folks!
I installed Debian in a 600M partition. OK, it is damn small
but i just thought it would be a enough when I created it. Anyway, my
father just came to me today asking if I would be interested in
changing the 2G disk where the linux partition is by an 3.5G one.
Well, that would be the solution to my problem, wouldn't it?
The problem is that I have to give him an answer AND the 2G
disk today, with no further delays. Since I don't want to re-start
downloading - yes, downloaded the whole thing with a 52k modem - and
setting a Debian system up again, I was wondering if would be possible
to copy/move this debian installation to the new drive and how would
that be done.
IS there a how to talking about this? Since i use loadlin, is there any booting/special
blocks stuff i should know? Any single command solution? -hey, i
really don't have time to RTFM now so... :)
And just to remember: I only have until tonight to give daddy
:) an answer and to copy/move the partition. So, PLEASE, write your
answers quickly... :)
TIA
