moving Knoppix installation
Hi.
I have knoppix installed on my harddisk. No I'm going to buy a new pc with new harddisk.
May I move the whole knoppix intstallation to the new disk? Because I don't want to install all programs again.
THX 4 help.

Yes. Use partimage to make an image of your knoppix partition. Then use partimage again to restore it onto your new harddrive. Just remember that the partition you restore to must be at least as big as the partition you imaged. Also if you can use the same partitioning scheme on the new drive it will save some headaches. Partimage is on the knoppix cd btw.

you could most likely boot a cd from both computers, make partitio/s on new disk .
now use scp sftp... OR fish in konqueror to transfer it over network.
another possible way is to use between disks on same computer.. just boot with cd (after first puting new where the old one was on that computer and the old one where you have room for it).
now partition new disk, making certain to have all partition/s meant
for linux with same number/s , if otherwise you must edit /etc/fstab accordingly later.
Now make filesystem on the new disk (format it in redmondspeak).
lastly mount both disks and do
Code:
cp -a /searchpath/to/old-disk /searchpath/to/new-disk
when finished just chroot to newdisk
Code:
chroot /mount/point/of/newdisk
run lilo and reboot.
