I have Debian sarge loaded and running fine on a Thinkpad (laptop). I now
want to copy my setup onto another hard drive, so I can try some things out
without ruining this setup (which took a lot of effort to get running). How
do I go about doing that? The laptop can only run one hard drive at a time.
I can connect to another Debian machine (running woody). The laptop started
with woody (same CDs used as the other machine) and I think I kept all the
downloaded deb files used to upgrade. Is there any way to copy the setup
rather than setting up a new hard drive from scratch?
