Quick followup -- I googled and found instructions to use this: cd / ; find . -xdev | cpio -vdump /mnt/newroot Cool! That copied the files and the device points with no problems, afaics: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 487292800 4038308 483254492 1% / /dev/hda1 9614116 4374152 4751592 48% /mnt/newroot For some reason, the target partition shows about 350MB more than the source -- ? (Yes, it was empty when I started.) I now have to figure out grub -- I'll have to rewrite the MBR and forget how. Cheers, David
