I don't use one, Tim. This machine never sleeps
Next question that I don't recall seeing an answer go by in this madhouse,
(the machine is currently busier than a one legged man in an ass-kicking
contest, kmail even went away by itself a few minutes ago) when the copying
is all done using rsync -avcAX, ( I didn't have enough space free to use dd)
I presume that I'll need to do a "grub-install /dev/sde", at least that is
the plan. Then fix the /etc/fstab file on the new drive, powerdown, pull the
sata0 cable and move the sata5 cable to sata0, and it should then boot from
this new drive.
Have I missed anything?
