I did in a much more simpler way; I just boot using
floppy set and copy all file from 1 root partition to
another like (mount /dev/hda1 at /hda1 etc..)
cp -a /hda1 /hda2
Then use text editor to edit /etc/fstab accordingly in
new root partition.
Check /etc/lilo.conf then run lilo using -r switch, Or
reboot the system, using boot floppy boot into new
partition and check , run lilo, that is all
Sure like this always works :-)
