Moving Linux to a larger disk - how?

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?
