Hello,
    I've got a CentOS 4.4 box that it's drive is dying. This machine has a 
lot of customizations done to it, custom configs and the like and i'd rather 
not have to do a full reinstall or manually copy over settings files. What 
i'm wondering is is there a way i can set up the new disk, make it bootable, 
then transfer the entire system over to it? I would then pull out the 
failing drive set the new one to be master, and go on with things?
    Recently i've had to do this on a FreeBSD system for pretty much the 
same reason, all data and settings went over fine and i'd like to have the 
same success here.
Thanks.
Dave.
