Re: immigrate Debian from an older disk to a newer one?

	hello Wei,

	Have look at the link below, I have not tryed out this method yet but I will 
be in the near future. You could set up a spare machine and install a 
standard debina install and use that setup to check things out, ie dummy run.

	all the best but test the method first.
