Yea, and I'll end up doing that, but the problem is that I've done some yum installs and yum updates and, of course, reading mail,
browsing the internet, etc., and there are now new files here and there on cross partitions that need to be good to go on, at least,
one of the two disks.  Then I can do the UUID changes and make sure that I boot from the disk where all of the partitions are
current.  I'm thinking I *may* be able to rsync partitions, copying "newer" files back and forth (probably after booting into
Knoppix).  That should do it.  I'll have to think about it some more and decide on how to do this.

Thanks.
