Put in the new hard drive replacement, then what? Must be formatted, OK that's a no-brainer. Must I partition it to match the old drive for rsync?
Not really. Partition it as you like.
(home,var, usr) are all separate partitions. (same size? larger?)
Whatever you need :-)
Will rsync sort it all out?
No, you sort it out and tell rsync what to do :-P Rsync just copies files from one place to another; it doesn't matter if one side is one partition and the other is twenty. Just make sure they are properly mounted and there is enough available space.
Is there a how-to / wiki page somewhere that can give some guidance?
Of course. An old one: Hard Disk Upgrade Mini How-To /usr/share/doc/howto/en/txt/Hard-Disk-Upgrade.gz if you have it installed. Or google it. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
