I just bought a new hard drive for my system. I pan on using it and

want to totally replicate what is happening on the disk. Is there a

I've done this a few times and it's been a while, but what I recall
doing was:
1. mke2fs /dev/hdb1.
2. mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb1 /mnt
3. 'cp -ax' from / to /mnt each of the directories which do not exist
on a separate partition. Do not include /proc or /tmp. Use mkdir to
create /mnt/proc and /mnt

Hi all,
I just got a new SCSI HD, it's 1GB and I would like to use part of it to
replace my current swap drive.
The only problem is that after partitioning, where should I configure so
linux would see my new swap as default and forget about the old swap?
also since it's scsi, and I have id 4,5 take
could create rescue disk, root disk etc, then reboot from
these and install the new HD that way, but it seems a clumsy way of
doing it given I have a working Debian installation already.
Has anyone done what I am suggesting should be able to be done? Can
anyone point me to a HOWTO or something?

I don't know if we have similiar problems or not. With my system it can't
