[olug] dd --- the coolest utility ever

[Mark Martin]

Dear Chris,

Create a filesystem on the larger drive and use "cp -a" to recursively
copy the contents of the old drive over to the new one, i.e. adapt the
method described in the Hard Disk Upgrade mini-howto

http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Hard-Disk-Upgrade/index.html

to your situation.  I recently did this for my laptop, moving from a 4GB
drive to a 13GB drive, without too much trouble.

Good luck,

Mark
