[ale] Hard drive upgrade

[Dave Brooks]

Insert new Hard Drive in box.  Boot it.
We'll assume the new drive is /dev/hdb and the old one is /dev/hda.
Fdisk it appropriately.
Run this command:
(This is assuming Linux resides on the partition /dev/hd*1 on both
drives).

# dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1

Remove old drive, but new drive in the old one's place.
Done.


BTW: What are you doing with the old drive? Wanna sell it?
