Movin entire installation


I have a root (/) partition on /dev/hdb, which is the only linux partition I use (besides for swap). I want to move the whole installation to another hard disk (/dev/hda). Lilo is installed on MBR (of /dev/hda), if it makes any difference.

How should I go about it?

Thank you all!

Ok, I made it

It wasn't really hard, pretty much common sense. I created new partitions on hda, then cp -a everything but stuff like /proc (adjusted fstab, of course), dualboot from lilo conf on hdb, and then configured lilo on hda.

Everything seems perfect.
