Thanks for all the answers everyone! I feel comfortable about it now. As Felix said though in his post, trying to clone what I have now onto the new drive is a little too iffy for me, so it looks like I'll have to put /home on a DVD and start from scratch (the only reason I hate and dread doing it though is because with dial-up it all takes so darn long...oh well).
You can clone it. It's doable. At least, you can try. You just gotta be very careful. :-) For instance, you may remove the pata disk temporarily, install the sata one, install a small suse partition on it (rest not partitioned yet), reattach the pata, modify fstab, clone the old one to new partitions, adjust grub, try to boot it. If it fails, you have the rescue partition you created first to do rescue operations, and the original pata intact ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
