Once the new 2G : drive has valid MBR/Partition table information, you will need to newfs : say a root and /usr partition, fsck them and then use dump/restore to : transfer the data. Eg. (assuming that the new disk is initially wd1 and : the current disk is wd0)- Why each filesystem ? Configure the 2Gb disk as you suggested, but just mount the whole lot under /mnt (keeping the new hierarchy) and run something like cd /; find .??* [0-9A-Za-ln-z]* -print | cpio -pvumd /mnt/. You should check the find wildcards for the system in question. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
