The GNU cp command does those... "cp -a". Other "cp" variants

It preserves ownership and symbolic links, for one thing (or 2).

Sure, this would be quite easy to do.
1. Install the new HDD on a secondary IDE chain, say primary slave, hdb
2. Partition the drive the way you want
3. Mount the drive up the way it will appear for boot, on say /new
4. Run the following command:
# tar cvpf - / --exclude=new --exclude=proc | t
Yes, it's possible. I think you need to do something like this:
- Install the new hard drive.
- Boot to your old hard drive.
- Partition the new hard drive as desired, including the partitions you
need for replacing the old drive.
- Make the necessary filesystems.
- Use tar (or something else) to
