Whenever I've done this in the past I simply put the new hard drive into the old computer, partion it the way I want, crate the filesystems and one at a time transfer the filesystems to there new place using cpio in passthrough mode. I've never had a problem doing this. Goes something like this... find /opt_filesystem | cpio --passthrough /new_filesystem you may have to fool with that commandline a bit, it's been over a year since I've done it, but it works... cheers Corey On Sunday 26 December 2004 23:00, Ed Wilts wrote: > On Sun, Dec 26, 2004 at 06:21:45PM -0700, mark wrote: > > I have a RHEL WS box I want to move to new hardware. > > This should be posted to taroon-list, not fedora. > > > I would like to tar it all up, move it, extract it, rescue disk, grub > > install, and run it.
