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...
