Here we go! We can start the live migration to sda1 ...

Today, you will execute RIGHT this commands sequence:

Code:
mkdir -p /tmp/.rootbind

mount --bind / /tmp/.rootbind

rsync -av --delete --progress \
    --exclude "/lost+found" \
    --exclude "/root/.kde/share/apps/nepomuk/repository" \
    --exclude "/tmp/kde" \
    --exclude "/var/tmp/kde" \
    /tmp/.rootbind/ /winxp

Sorry Darth, but I don't know how to enter a multi line command in the terminal.

Then do, a simple:

Code:
rsync -av --delete --progress /tmp/.rootbind/ /winxp
instead of this multi line command.

These commands will make a clone of your (root) system on sda1. About the next things, we talk tomorrow... ;)

just press enter after each of those lines.
bash knows that the \ means multiline.

Well, it is done!!!!:D

I have a 100% Slackware PC and I did not have to do a reinstall - it would have been my 15th or so.

I'm not certain if it is perfect because I did not have Darth's super help at the end but, I'm writing this from my system.

Thanks again Darth, I really appreciate all your time, expertise and guidance.

I would also like to thank 'rcbrgs' and 'Ilgar' - without their posts, I would not have had the understanding to complete this migration.

Marking as SOLVED.
