Hi,
I would like to reload the entire system from scratch but do not want to have to re-download all the patches I have already downloaded.

Comments or should I raise an RFE?
Why need to reinstall if you just want to move the installation?
Put the new disk in, as well as the old one. Butt with Knoppix (or other live distro) and use either dd or partimage to move over the partitions. You can even use tar to get the partition content (it preserves the ownership) and untar on the new hard.
Cheers
I think the OP is after something slightly different, a re-install + apply changes made to original but NOT to move the current location. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
