TAR is your friend :) Tar up the file system and then untar it onto your new 
drive, update fstab and lilo.conf. Execute lilo and your system is up an 
running on a new HDD :)

tar -cf - /old/mnt/point/* | tar -xf -

Think that will work, "tar -cf -" sends everything to stdout, then pipe that to 
another tar to extract from stdin...
