If you are increasing the amount of RAM, and you currently do fine on 512 MB of swap, you should be OK. That said, if you are getting a ton more space, what is 1 GB to dedicate to swap just in case? > Question 2: (This is the main one!) The MBR?

If you use cp you will need to run grub-install, or run setup from within grub, again. Make sure you use the correct flags on cp to maintain permissions/owners/other attributes on the files that you are copying. Another option that may be simpler and will definitely be faster is using dd to copy. You will probably need to use grub-install/setup if you do dd as well, unless you dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb (or am I wrong about this?) -- Randy Barlow http://electronsweatshop.com -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
