Just slave the drive into your current system, copy everything over, change stuff like hostname, ip address, and edit the stuff in /etc/fstab if necessary. Toss the new drive into the new system, boot up via floppy, run lilo, reboot, and there you go.

I am running Sid updated daily. Is there a way to do a base install of potato on the new system then change apt.sources to point to sid and is there a file I can copy from my old system that will install all the same packages I currently have installed so I don't have to go through the headache of remembering everything I have installed up to this point. If there is such a file what is it and if this is possible is there anything I need to watch out for? Thanks Brad -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
