I'm slowly working my way through an installation and have arrived at the
point where I need to move partitions.
I did a minimal installation and added lvm partitions.

using dpkg --get-selections and a little scripting, you can get a list of every
package on your system. pass that data into dpkg --set-selections and you get
your old system back. So all you really need to save is ho
This is how my 20 GB disk looks today:
hda1 Linux, /boot 24
hda2 Linux swap 133
