I use dd to do a raw binary copy of the partition. It goes something like
this:
1) make the partition to copy to the same size as the original one
2)I think its best to make sure both the partitions are not mounted
3) as root run: # dd if=/dev/partition-to copy-from
of=/dev/partition-to-copy-to
4)edit the /etc/lilo.config to suit and then run /sbin/lilo
5)reboot and seee if it works.
I have done this myself with various partition with no problems. My current
new trick is to compress a partition into multiple archives and save them onto
cdr/w's.
Hope this helps,
