    Hi !

    There is another method :)
    Make the target partitions that have the same size and the same partition
    letters of the source partiotions by /stand/sysinstall
    Mount the target disk to /mountpoint
    And use cp -Rp / /mountpoint

    I use this method :) It is easier :)

    Good luck

    Viacheslav
