Aloha, I am looking for the easiest way to copy a fresh working FreeBSD 8* HD install (Manolis version) to a bigger HD that I found. I plan to have the new HD in the same box for doing this copy. Can I use sysinstall to make the new default slices on the big HD and then move the OS and directories/files to them? What command (utility) do I use? dd or cp or some other to copy the files. Thanks.... ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 7.2 - 8.0 - 9* + < email: noc@hdk5.net > "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol
