When I wrote that How-To, I wanted to copy Linux from a 120 Mb hard disk 
to a 250 Mb hard disk.

I've thought about updating the How-To, but I assumed that modern hard 
disks are so large that people no longer needed to copy Linux just 
because they ran out of disk space.

Even back then, the How-To wasn't intended for someone who wanted to 
make several copies. As others have suggested, Clonezilla seems 
appropriate for your situation: http://clonezilla.org/

I still use LILO to boot from thumb drives, by the way.
