That is the long range plan. Then the new computer will be New :-) Uh, "dd" won't give you a functional system. It will perform a byte- for-byte copy and unless the source and target disks are identical, will absolutely NOT work. You will need to run a "ghost"-like program to do that or boot the old disk, partition the new disk the way you want and do something really nasty like "cp -a" from the top level of each partition of the old disk to the corresponding partition on the new. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - Which is worse: ignorance or apathy?
