Hi all - hopefully this is an easy one... I'm running SuSe 6.4 on an old Pentium 133.. The processor and ram do the job I want very nicely but I'd like to increase the disk space ( currently 850MB ) preferably by replacing the existing disk... Does any one have any ideas...? I was thinking of using Partition Magic but I still need to do the disk copy which is probably my main problem...

Just build in the new hard disk, partition it with (c)fdisk, create the file systems and mount them. Then for every mounted partition on your old drive do a find /mountpoint_on_old_disk -mount -print0 |afio -p0 /mountpoint_on_new_disk Then adjust your lilo.conf and fstab.
