I just copied one HDD to another today, using the cp command with appropriate parameters on most of the directories. If I recall what I did correctly, I didn't copy /dev/ I just made an empty /dev directory on the new drive, and let the system fill it on the next boot. I was of the understanding that, now, /dev/ is dynamically generated each boot. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
