<PRE>Thanks for all these comments. I am now mailing from my newly installed
(yes: installed) system. It is worth while to sum up my experience:
- Copying (tar) an about 15 Gb partition takes about 15 minutes (< 1
hour for the 3 partitions I needed) - much faster than any installing
- Perfect for the data partition
- I had some problems on details with my bootable Mga partition
(/etc/fstab still had one partition as ext3 which I had not yet
migrated, the new disk evidently is all ext4)
- After fixing this, the copied partition booted nicely, execept that
during boot I had persistently to wait for 1 min timeouts for the boot
partition and the swap partition to "become visible" - maybe simply a
question of UIDs (I used /dev/sd<xx>) - but that is where I gave up,
considering that a fresh install takes less of my time (but I copied the
entire user home directory, thus avoiding to do all the kde
customisations - I have quite a lot to do).
- Given this experience, I postponed doing the Windows partition - will
try copying, but am sceptical. Thanks for your references, I still need
to read them in detail. Copying Windows would be nice - installing and
than loading the service pack and updates is -timewise - is quite a pain
in the neck.
Nevertheless, all work on the Mageia partitiondone, I lost no data: just
celebrated this with a couple of bubbles!
