I have a system with an Athlon 1.2Ghz, 1 Gig of Ram, 40 Gig IDE as the Master, and a 100 Gig IDE as the Slave. Right now I have RH7.3 installed and the 100 Gig drive mounted as disk2. I would like to do two things, install a small Windows partition (for games) and then install RH8.0. One of my concerns is that I'm running Evolution and connect to several mailing lists, including this one.
I'm thinking of blowing away the 40 gig drive and then installing a small Windows 2000 partition. Then install Redhat 8.0 on the rest of the drive. My questions are these: 1) What's the best way to copy the file system from the 40 gig drive to the 100 gig drive? That way when I install 8.0 I can get to all my old files in case I need something? Would the simple cp command be the easiest thing here? 2) Assuming I don't screw up and blow away the data/partition on the 100 Gig Drive, will the Redhat 8 install see it and let me mount it again as disk2? 3) Any suggestions on getting my current Evolution mail migrated to the new installation assuming I have it all backed up? (via question 1) Any suggestions are appreciated.
