OK, I have a new 60GB drive to place on my 20GB Linux box.
Don't get excited - its only IDE.
I thought I would reclaim the 20GB for some lesser role in life.
Is is best to do a re-install and then somehow (how?) move the settings
from the old drive to the new.
-Or- should I format the paritions (how exactly) and then copy (how? if I want to keep
acls etc) data from old to new drive. And do I then need to make it bootable?
(As usual, you will gather from this that my ignorance knows no bounds)
- and BTW - are we going to get a special offer price on SUSE 8.0?
